Bus Accident Attorneys in Texas

Protecting passengers, pedestrians, and families after serious bus crashes.

Bus accidents can leave victims facing pain, confusion, and mounting bills. Whether it’s a city bus or a private charter, these companies and their insurers are focused on protecting themselves.

At Potts Law Firm, our bus accident lawyers stand with you. We’ll uncover what went wrong, hold those responsible accountable, and fight for every dollar you deserve.

How a Bus Accident Lawyer Protects Your Case

After a bus crash, the company and its insurers will move quickly to control the story and limit what they pay. We stop that from happening.

Get to the Bottom of What Happened

We review driver reports, maintenance logs, surveillance footage, and black box data to piece together the full story.

Hold Every Party Accountable

Bus accidents rarely come down to one person. The driver, the transit authority, maintenance crews, or even outside contractors could share the blame.

Take on the Heavy Hitters

We’ve stood toe-to-toe with national transportation companies, local municipalities, and their insurance companies. They have entire departments protecting their bottom line, but we protect your future.

Seek the Full Value of Your Recovery

You’ve been through enough. Now it’s time to focus on healing while we fight for what you’re owed. We pursue every dollar for medical bills, lost wages, emotional trauma, and the long-term impact of your injuries.

    Common Types of Bus Accidents

    City Transit Bus Collisions

    Public transportation systems serve thousands daily. When a driver is distracted, fatigued, or poorly trained, passengers and motorists pay the price. We hold city and county transit systems accountable.

    Accidents With School Buses

    Few cases are more serious than those involving children. Our team works with experts to uncover the cause, from driver negligence to poor vehicle maintenance. Then, we demand justice for young victims and their families.

    Charter and Tour Bus Crashes

    Private tour and charter bus operators often cut corners to save money. We investigate vehicle upkeep, scheduling pressure, and compliance with federal safety regulations.

    Pedestrian and Bystander Injuries

    When a bus strikes a pedestrian or cyclist, the consequences can be life-changing. Our attorneys advocate for victims to recover damages and hold negligent operators responsible.

    FAQs About Bus Accidents:

    What should I do immediately after a bus accident?

    First, call 911 and get medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. Then, if you’re able to do so, take photos and collect contact information from witnesses. 

    Avoid speaking with the bus company or their insurance adjusters until you’ve talked to a bus accident lawyer. The steps you take in the first 24 hours can make a major difference in your case.

    Who can we hold responsible for a bus accident?

    Liability can fall on the bus driver, the company, a transit agency, maintenance crews, or even the manufacturer. The best bus accident attorney will investigate to find the responsible party.

    Can I sue a city or public transportation agency after a bus crash?

    Yes, but suing a government entity involves strict rules and short deadlines. Here in Texas, you may have as little as six months to file a notice of claim. 

     

    Regardless of your location, an experienced bus accident lawyer can help you avoid mistakes and handle every legal requirement.

    How much is my bus accident case worth?

    Your compensation depends on factors like medical expenses, missed work, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. A personal injury attorney will estimate your case’s value based on your injuries, recovery, and how negligent the company was.
