From Investigation to Resolution: Our Proven Process for Bus Accident Cases

At Cameron Law, we know that being involved in a bus accident can be a traumatic and overwhelming experience. That's why we prioritize a client-focused approach, ensuring you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. We meticulously handle each bus accident case with the utmost care and attention, recognizing that every situation is unique.

Here's how we fight for you:

  • Thorough Investigation

    We leave no stone unturned. Our team gathers all necessary evidence, including police reports, witness statements, accident reconstruction data, and more, to build a strong case on your behalf.

  • Determining Liability

    We identify all potentially liable parties, whether it's the bus driver, bus company, maintenance contractor, or another entity, to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

  • Skilled Negotiation

    We are negotiators who will advocate for your rights with insurance companies to secure a fair settlement that covers your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

  • Trial Representation

    If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to litigate your case in court and fight tirelessly to protect your best interests.

What Type of Bus Accident Were You Involved In?

Bus accidents can occur in various ways, each presenting unique legal challenges. Understanding the specific type of bus accident you were involved in is crucial for building a strong claim for compensation.

Some common types of bus accidents in Las Vegas include:

  • Rollover Accidents

    These accidents often occur due to speeding, driver error, or hazardous road conditions, resulting in severe injuries.

  • Rear-End Collisions

    Often caused by distracted or tailgating drivers, these collisions can lead to whiplash and other impact-related injuries.

  • Head-On Collisions

    These are among the most dangerous types of bus accidents, frequently caused by driver negligence, leading to catastrophic injuries or fatalities.

  • Intersection Accidents

    Failure to yield the right-of-way or running red lights at intersections can result in T-bone collisions or side-impact crashes.

  • Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

    Buses can pose a significant risk to pedestrians and cyclists, especially in crowded areas or due to blind spots.

The Unseen Impact: Common Injuries in Las Vegas Bus Accidents

Bus accidents often result in a range of injuries, some immediately apparent, others surfacing later. Here are some common injuries sustained in bus accidents:

  • Brain Injuries

    Concussions, contusions, or more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can result from the forceful impact of a bus accident.

  • Burn Injuries

    In cases involving fires after a bus accident, passengers may suffer from severe burns requiring specialized treatment.

  • Amputations

    In extreme cases, the severity of injuries may necessitate amputation of limbs.

  • Whiplash Injuries

    This common injury is caused by the sudden back-and-forth movement of the head and neck, often resulting in pain, stiffness, and headaches.

  • Catastrophic Injuries

    These are severe, life-altering injuries, such as paralysis, brain damage, or severe burns.

  • Spine Injuries

    Damage to the spinal cord can lead to partial or complete paralysis, requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation.

  • Back Injuries

    Herniated discs and other back injuries are common due to the sudden jolting motions experienced in a bus crash.

  • Wrongful Death

    Sadly, some bus accidents result in fatalities, leaving families devastated and facing the process of filing a wrongful death claim.

It's vital to seek medical attention even after what seems like a minor incident, as some injuries may not present symptoms right away.

Determining Fault: Unraveling the Complexities of Bus Accident Liability

Here are some parties that could be held liable for a bus accident in Las Vegas:

  • Bus Driver

    Driver negligence, such as distracted driving, DUI, speeding, or fatigued driving, is a common cause of bus accidents.

  • Bus Company

    The bus company could be liable for negligent hiring, inadequate driver training, failure to maintain buses properly, or violations of safety regulations.

  • Bus Manufacturer

    Defects in the bus itself, such as faulty brakes, tires, or other mechanical issues, can lead to accidents.

  • Government Entities

    If a hazardous road condition, such as inadequate maintenance, contributed to the accident, a government entity could be held liable.

  • Other Drivers

    In some situations, another driver's actions, such as reckless driving or running a red light, may cause a bus accident.

Investigating the accident to identify all potentially liable parties is an essential part of ensuring you have the opportunity to seek the full value of damages you are owed. We will work to understand exactly what happened and take steps to hold those at fault liable.

Government Liability in Bus Accidents: When You Can File a Claim Against Las Vegas

If a bus accident is caused by the negligence of a government entity, such as the City of Las Vegas, you may have grounds to file a claim. This could involve situations where the accident was a result of:

  • Dangerous Road Conditions: Poorly maintained roads, inadequate lighting, missing or obscured traffic signs, or defective traffic signals could all contribute to a bus accident.
  • Negligent Road Design: If a road’s design poses an unreasonable risk to drivers, such as blind intersections or inadequate merging lanes, the city could be liable.
  • Faulty Traffic Control Devices: Malfunctioning traffic lights, malfunctioning railroad crossing signals, or other faulty traffic control devices can create hazardous conditions.

It is important to note that there are specific procedures and shorter statutes of limitations when filing a claim against a government entity, making it crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

What Damages Can You Recover in a Las Vegas Bus Accident Case?

If you've been injured in a bus accident that wasn't your fault, you have the right to seek compensation for a wide range of damages, both economic and non-economic.

Here are some of the damages you may be able to recover:

  • Medical Expenses

    Past, present, and future medical bills related to your injuries, including hospitalization, surgery, doctor visits, medication, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.

  • Lost Wages

    Compensation for income lost due to your inability to work as a result of your injuries, including past lost earnings and future lost earning capacity.

  • Pain and Suffering

    This category compensates for the physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish you've endured as a consequence of the accident and your injuries.

  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life

    If your injuries prevent you from engaging in hobbies, activities, and social interactions that you previously enjoyed, you can seek compensation for this loss.

  • Property Damage

    Repair or replacement costs for any personal property damaged in the accident, such as your vehicle, phone, or other belongings.

  • Wrongful Death Damages

    In the tragic event of a fatality, family members may be eligible to pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, loss of financial support, and other damages.

Navigating Nevada Law: Are There Limits to Bus Accident Compensation?

Nevada law imposes certain limitations on the amount of compensation you can receive in a personal injury lawsuit, including bus accident cases. These limitations vary depending on the type of damages and the circumstances of the accident.

It is essential to consult with a Las Vegas bus accident attorney like those at Cameron Law to understand how these limitations might affect your specific case. We can assess your damages, identify any applicable caps, and develop a strategy to pursue the maximum compensation available to you.

Injured But Partially at Fault? Understanding How Shared Blame Affects Your Bus Accident Case

Nevada follows a "modified comparative negligence" rule when determining fault and damages in accident cases. This means that even if you were partially at fault for the bus accident, you may still be able to recover compensation — but the amount you receive will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

For example, if you are found 20% at fault for the accident and your damages total $100,000, you will only be able to recover $80,000 (80% of your total damages). However, if you are found 51% or more at fault, Nevada law prevents you from recovering any compensation.

Time Is of the Essence: Deadline to File a Bus Accident Lawsuit in Nevada

For personal injury cases in Nevada, including those involving bus accidents, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the accident. If you don't file a lawsuit within this two-year period, you will likely lose your right to seek compensation in court.

It's important to contact a Las Vegas bus accident lawyer as soon as possible following your accident. This will ensure that you don't miss any crucial deadlines and that you have the best possible chance of recovering full and fair compensation for your injuries and losses.

  • What should I do immediately after a bus accident in Las Vegas?

    4. Document the Scene: If possible, take photos or videos of the accident scene, damage to the vehicles, and your injuries.

  • Will my bus accident case go to trial?

    Most bus accident cases are settled out of court through negotiations with insurance companies. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to trial and fight for your rights in court.

  • What if the bus accident involved a tour bus or a hotel shuttle?

    Even if the bus wasn't a public transit bus, the same principles of negligence and liability apply. We can help you determine which parties are at fault, whether it's the driver, the tour company, the hotel, or another entity.
