Dallas Bus Accident Lawyers
Aggressively Pursuing the Compensation You Deserve
Bus accidents are often catastrophic due to a variety of factors, including the size of these commercial vehicles and the force behind them, as well as the fact that they are often carrying numerous passengers. To make matters worse, buses are not always equipped with seatbelts, and passengers do not always wear them even when they are available. Combine this with the fact that buses have a higher center of gravity than normal passenger vehicles, making them more likely to tip over in a crash, and you have a recipe for disaster.

We represent victims of bus accidents in Dallas, Fort Worth, and across the U.S., fighting for justice and fair compensation on their behalf. These vehicle accidents can be complicated to investigate, but we have worked in this field for over 20 years.

Bus Accident Causes and Contributing Factors
It’s true that “accidents happen,” but many accidents could and should be avoided. These incidents tend to result from the careless or reckless behavior of others, including fellow motorists, vehicle manufacturers, bus companies, and other parties.
At Arnold & Itkin, we’re very interested in what causes our clients’ accidents because this provides the foundation for successful personal injury or wrongful death cases. It may also apply to work injury claims for those injured on the job.
Working with investigators and accident reconstruction specialists, we may uncover such causes as:
- Fatigue/falling asleep at the wheel
- Driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs
- Distracted driving
- Poorly maintained roads, traffic signs, or signals
- Defective or poorly maintained bus parts
- Lack of proper bus passenger restraints
- Inexperienced bus drivers
- Lack of proper bus operator training
In some cases, the bus driver is at fault; in others, a third party is to blame. This could include the company that trained or employed the bus driver, the entity that leases or maintains the bus, or even another driver who acted negligently on the road, leading to the crash. Our Dallas bus accident lawyers carefully dissect each case to determine exactly what happened and, most importantly, who is liable.
How Much Is Your Bus Accident Claim Worth?
The actual value of your bus accident claim depends on many factors, including but not limited to:

How Our Dallas Bus Accident Attorneys Can Help
When you get on a bus or share the road with one of these huge vehicles, you trust the driver is trained, paying attention, and operating a vehicle that’s properly maintained. When this does not occur, you may be left with life-changing injuries or the loss of someone you love. This is unacceptable.
When innocent people’s lives are turned upside down by school bus, city bus, and tour bus accidents, we are committed to setting things right again. Depending on the type of bus, different laws, procedures, and rules of negligence and liability may apply. Fortunately, we have considerable experience with traffic accidents of all kinds and can determine which laws apply to your unique accident. What’s more, we are prepared to aggressively pursue compensation for your losses, including both economic and noneconomic damages.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Bus Accident Lawyer?
We recognize that hiring a lawyer may be the furthest thing from your mind, especially when you are already dealing with thousands of dollars in medical expenses, unpaid bills, and lost wages. However, when you work with our team, you don’t pay anything unless we recover compensation for you. Furthermore, our fees are recovered as a percentage of your total settlement or verdict, meaning you do not pay out of pocket.
