Bus accident cases involve unique legal complexities. Injured victims can focus on recovery with an attorney’s guidance rather than navigating the complicated claims process.
- Limited Liability – Bus companies lobby for state laws that limit their financial liability. Our lawyers find ways to pursue total damages.
- Multiple Defendants – The driver, bus company, part suppliers, maintenance company, and more may share fault. This involves claims against various parties.
- Access to Evidence – Bus companies quickly conceal or destroy evidence. We act swiftly to secure it.
- Delayed Injuries – Some traumatic injuries like TBIs do not show symptoms for days or weeks. Our lawyers account for future damages.
- Pressure for Quick Settlements – Victims are pushed to settle before damages are fully known. We reject inadequate offers.
With an attorney experienced in bus accident claims on your side, you can avoid missteps and maximize your recovery.

Bus companies and drivers have a legal duty to exercise reasonable care in transporting passengers safely. They must adhere to state and federal regulations governing maintenance, inspections, driver training, driving hours, and operating procedures. When a bus company fails to uphold these duties and their negligence results in a crash that injures passengers or others on the road, they can be held liable.
An experienced attorney understands the regulations and standards bus companies must follow to keep passengers safe. Proving a breach in the duty of care is critical to establishing liability after a Boulder bus crash. Holding negligent bus companies accountable is the only way to incentivize meaningful improvements in safety and help prevent future accidents.
