Passenger Van and Private Bus Accidents

Passenger vans and private buses are frequently used for short travel to and from the airport, from hotels and popular destinations, or even for group events. These modes of transportation can also be used for longer trips.

Acting quickly is essential to protecting yourself from further loss and to giving yourself the greatest chance of a fair recovery. Let our experienced attorneys help you file your personal injury claim today.

Given their larger-than-average size, buses and vans tend to be less stable on the road and more prone to rolling over, leading to catastrophic injuries for the individuals inside. Buses and vans can also cause significant impact to those in other vehicles, resulting in serious injuries. You or a loved one may have suffered irreparable brain, spinal cord, or bone injuries that have caused you to lose time from work, more importantly decreasing your quality of life. Your case is worth fighting for, and we’re here to fight alongside you.

Acting quickly can make a vast difference in any case, especially when considering the extent of damage you may have received. Do not allow the hardships you and your family member have endured to detain you from seeking help immediately because the sooner you have an attorney on your side, the better the chances of making a successful claim against the party at fault. Remember that the culpable party will do anything in its power to try to show that he or she was not at fault. So, it is important for our firm to obtain evidence in support of your claim as soon as possible.

After you’ve been in an accident, being medically examined by a professional should be the first thing on your list. You’ll want to be evaluated even if you are showing no initial symptoms, as often the symptoms develop later on. This will help you receive better care and documentation supporting your injury claim.

Contact the authorities if you believe the driver was driving under the influence of a substance or was otherwise impaired leading to the accident. It is important that all involved parties are vetted at the scene of the accident in order to substantiate your claim against those who were at fault. Once he or she leaves the scene, it is much more difficult.

If you have personal insurance that can cover your injuries, be sure to report the accident. The insurer that provides coverage for the bus or van will begin to try to quickly mount evidence in their favor. Therefore, make sure you can collect your evidence efficiently. We use the help of technical experts and investigators when pursuing your claim because they are capable of delivering information that can help your case that an untrained eye not in the field might have missed.
