Bus Accident
BUS ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS — PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TRIAL STRIKE FORCE
When a bus injures passengers or pedestrians, we don’t request accountability; we take it.
City buses, school buses, charter buses, and transit vehicles are supposed to protect the public. Instead, far too many operate with poor training, rushed schedules, reckless drivers, and dangerous maintenance shortcuts. And when a bus collides with a pedestrian, cyclist, or passenger vehicle, the results are catastrophic.
The transit authorities, school districts, and private companies behind these buses immediately mobilize lawyers to minimize your claim.
We respond by going straight for the evidence, and straight for their insurance limits.
At Mumen Barlaskar Law Firm, we represent victims of bus crashes across Michigan, and we don’t hesitate to file lawsuits when negligent operators try to hide behind bureaucracy or government immunity.
Why Bus Accident Cases Demand an Aggressive Legal Attack
Bus cases are never simple. They involve:
- Government-owned vehicles
- Strict notice requirements
- Multiple injured victims
- Layers of insurance coverage
- Corporate safety violations
- Poorly trained or fatigued drivers
We don’t sit around waiting for “internal investigations.”
We conduct our own — and we do it with subpoena power.
Our team secures:
- Bus camera footage
- GPS and route logs
- Driver training & discipline records
- Maintenance & inspection reports
- Passenger and witness statements
- Intersection and street surveillance
- Black-box vehicle data
If the agency or company fails to provide it voluntarily, we drag it out of them through litigation.
Injuries We See and Litigate in Bus Crashes
Passengers and pedestrians hit by buses often suffer:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and orthopedic damage
- Internal organ trauma
- Severe lacerations and disfigurement
- Permanent disability
- Devastating psychological trauma
These are cases where insurance companies try to minimize lifelong injuries with low offers.
We don’t negotiate down — we push the value up with expert support and courtroom readiness.
Who Is Liable? Everyone Who Played a Role.
We pursue claims against:
- Negligent bus drivers
- City transit authorities (DDOT, SMART, etc.)
- School districts
- Private bus companies and contractors
- Maintenance companies
- Manufacturers of defective parts
If they contributed to the crash, we bring them into the lawsuit.
Government entity?
We are not intimidated. We file proper notice and move forward aggressively.
Compensation We Fight to Recover
We pursue:
- All medical bills
- Lost wages & loss of earning capacity
- Future medical care & rehabilitation
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Permanent impairment
- Wrongful death damages
When a bus operator harms someone, we ensure every penny of harm is accounted for — and paid
