Texas Bus Accident Attorneys

No type of motor vehicle accident will be free of consequences—whether only a few scratches and bruises are incurred, or catastrophic injuries result. This is particularly true of bus accidents. While public transportation is an excellent service, both to passengers and the environment, it is not without its flaws. Bus accidents are likely to result in both minor and significant injuries to the parties involved, and there are almost always many parties involved. The bus company has lawyers immediately involved when a crash occurs. If you have been hurt in a bus, then get a Waco bus accident lawyer on your side.  

Unfortunately, there are many different times where a bus, train, or another public vehicle may be involved in an accident that causes injuries to the passengers, and most importantly, to you. Driving a vehicle as large as a bus requires an exceptional level of expertise and understanding of how to operate such a complicated vehicle.
