Steps to Take After a Bus Crash
Knowing what to do can help protect your health and improve your chances of fair compensation.
Most people feel safe on buses, trains, and other forms of mass transit. When a bus crash happens, it can turn your world upside down. By taking the steps below, you increase the chances that our bus crash attorneys can recover a fair settlement for you.
STEP 1. Get Medical Care
See a doctor right away—even if you feel fine. Some injuries may take hours or days to appear, and having medical records can protect your health and support your claim.
STEP 2. Document the Crash
If you’re able to, take photos of the accident scene as well as damage to the bus (and any other involved vehicles). Your bus crash attorney may find these photos useful as they work to build your case.
STEP 3. Call a Bus Crash Lawyer
The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better. We’ll handle the insurance companies and protect your rights—at no cost unless we win on your behalf.
STEP 4. Don't Post on Social Media About the Crash
We’ve all played the game of telephone, and we know how easily the message can get lost. The same goes for your story. Posting just a few pictures or short updates can paint an incomplete picture of what you’ve endured and what you truly deserve.
STEP 5. Don’t Settle Too Soon
Insurance companies often push for quick, low payouts. Always check with your lawyer before accepting any settlement.

Bus Crash FAQs
1. Is the Bus Company or the Bus Driver Liable for a Bus Crash?
Companies can be held liable for the actions of their employees, so if the bus driver was at fault for the crash, the bus company may be financially responsible for your losses. However, if another driver caused the crash, that driver (and not the bus company) would be liable.
2. What Kind of Compensation Can You Recover After a Bus Crash?
After a bus crash, a mass transit accident attorney can seek compensation for your financial and non-financial losses. These losses might include medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, and a reduction in your quality of life.
3. Should I Get in Touch With the Bus Company’s Insurance Provider?
Not right away. It’s generally best to get in touch with a bus crash law firm before speaking to an at-fault party’s insurance company. Insurers tend to do everything they can to avoid paying claims in full. If you communicate with an insurance adjuster directly, they might twist what you say to try to minimize your claim’s value.
4. What Do Bus Crash Lawyers Actually Do?
Bus crash attorneys can discuss your situation with you and tell you if you have a reasonable chance of recovering compensation. If you have a viable case, your lawyer will investigate and gather evidence before filing an insurance claim on your behalf. Bus crash lawyers will typically try to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company, but if needed, they can represent you in court.
