Montgomery County Bus Accident Attorney

BACK TO ARTICLES

Our Montgomery County bus accident lawyers represent victims injured in public, school, and private bus crashes and pursue full compensation for their losses.

Buses are an important part of life in Montgomery County, connecting residents across Norristown, King of Prussia, and Lansdale. Yet, when bus companies or drivers fail to operate responsibly, these massive vehicles can cause catastrophic accidents — leaving passengers and motorists with severe, sometimes life-altering injuries.

At Wilk Law Firm, our Montgomery County bus accident attorneys fight for the rights of those injured due to negligence by public transit agencies, school districts, or private bus operators. Whether your case involves a SEPTA bus, school transportation, or a private charter company, our legal team is ready to hold all responsible parties accountable.

Who Is Responsible for a Bus Accident?

Bus accident cases are often more complex than typical car crashes because they may involve multiple liable parties and strict government procedures. Depending on the circumstances, responsible parties may include:

  • Bus drivers who drive recklessly or while distracted
  • Public transit agencies, such as SEPTA, for unsafe operations or poor maintenance
  • School districts responsible for negligent supervision or training
  • Private transportation companies that prioritize profits over safety
  • Maintenance providers for failing to inspect or repair vehicles
  • Manufacturers of defective components or tires

Our firm conducts detailed investigations to determine liability and preserve critical evidence — including maintenance logs, driver records, and black box data.

Common Causes of Bus Accidents in Montgomery County

Many bus crashes stem from preventable human errors or negligence. Common causes include:

  • Distracted driving (texting, GPS use, or talking with passengers)
  • Fatigue from long hours on the road
  • Speeding or ignoring traffic signals
  • Improper vehicle maintenance
  • Overloaded or unbalanced buses
  • Driving under the influence

Even one careless action by a driver or operator can result in devastating harm.

Frequent Injuries from Bus Accidents

Because passengers often lack seatbelts and protection, injuries in bus crashes tend to be severe. Victims may suffer from:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal bleeding or organ damage
  • Soft-tissue injuries and whiplash
  • Fatal injuries and wrongful death

At Wilk Law Firm, we understand the physical pain and emotional trauma these injuries bring — and we fight for compensation that truly reflects your losses.

Compensation for Montgomery County Bus Accident Victims

Victims of bus accidents may recover damages for:

  • Medical treatment and future care costs
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish and emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Loss of companionship or wrongful death damages

We collaborate with accident reconstruction experts, medical specialists, and financial professionals to ensure no loss goes unaccounted for.
