Who Is Responsible for a Bus Accident?
Bus accident cases are more complex than standard car crashes. These vehicles are often owned and operated by government agencies or private companies, and there may be multiple parties responsible for what went wrong.
Depending on the details of the case, we may investigate:
- The bus driver, for negligence, distracted driving, or driving while intoxicated/under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- The bus company or operator, for poor training, overworking drivers, or lack of vehicle maintenance
- Government agencies, if the bus was part of a city or school district fleet
- Third-party maintenance providers, if faulty repairs or inspections contributed to the crash
- Manufacturers, if a mechanical defect caused or worsened the accident
Our bus accident lawyers know how to navigate these complex cases, uncover key evidence, and hold the right people accountable.
Common Causes of Bus Accidents
Like any other vehicle accident, bus crashes are often the result of negligence. Sometimes, it’s the bus driver who was careless. Sometimes, another motorist behaves recklessly. In other instances, poor bus maintenance or defective parts contribute to a collision. In any case, the cause of the accident is important, as it usually points to the liable party.
Some of the most common causes of bus accidents in San Antonio include:
- Driver fatigue or inattention
- Speeding or unsafe driving in poor weather
- Inadequate driver training or supervision
- Poor vehicle maintenance or equipment failure
- Dangerous road conditions
- Improperly loaded or unsecured passengers
- Negligence by other drivers on the road
If your injuries were caused by another’s carelessness or negligence, our personal injury lawyers can fight to make sure your voice is heard. We are ready to aggressively pursue the justice you and your family deserve.
What Should I Do After a Bus Accident?
Whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, or someone riding in another vehicle, your first priority after a bus accident should be your health and safety. But there are also steps you can take to protect your legal rights.
If possible, try to:
- Seek medical care immediately, even if you don’t feel badly hurt. Sometimes, symptoms don’t appear right away or get worse over time.
- Document what you can. Take photos, get witness names, and write down everything you remember about the crash.
- Avoid speaking to insurance representatives without legal advice and never agree to a settlement without first consulting a lawyer.
- Contact a trusted bus accident attorney as soon as possible to preserve key evidence and begin building your case.
Bus companies and government entities often have legal teams ready to protect themselves. You deserve someone just as committed to protecting you.
Compensation for Bus Accident Victims
Bus accidents are often very serious, causing catastrophic injuries and tragic losses of life. As a result, the losses (or “damages”) victims face tend to be equally significant.
Victims of bus crashes may be entitled to compensation for a wide range of damages, including:
- Emergency and ongoing medical expenses
- Lost income and reduced ability to work
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish and trauma
- Long-term care or disability
- Wrongful death damages (for families who’ve lost a loved one)
Our bus accident attorneys in San Antonio work closely with medical professionals, financial experts, and accident reconstructionists to ensure your claim reflects the full extent of what you’ve lost. We fight for everything you’re owed so that you can focus on healing and moving forward with your life.

-
Bus accident cases often involve multiple passengers, more severe injuries, commercial insurance policies, and corporate or government defendants. These factors make the legal process more complex than a typical car crash claim. An attorney with experience handling bus accidents can navigate the unique legal and procedural challenges involved.
-
Possibly. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault for the accident. However, your total recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. So, if you are 20% at fault, your recovery will be reduced by 20%, meaning you can only receive 80% of the total amount you are seeking in damages. A good lawyer can evaluate your case and work to minimize your share of the blame.
-
Pedestrians and cyclists are especially vulnerable in bus crashes. If you were injured by a bus while walking or biking, you still have the right to pursue a claim. You may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, especially if the driver was distracted, failed to yield, or broke traffic laws.
-
Yes, but suing a government entity like the City of San Antonio involves specific legal procedures and strict deadlines under the Texas Tort Claims Act. You generally have only 180 days (six months) from the date of the accident to file a notice of claim. A bus accident lawyer familiar with municipal liability can help ensure your case is filed properly and on time.
-
Liability in a bus accident can be complex. Depending on the circumstances, the responsible party could be the bus driver, the bus company, a government entity (for example, if the accident involved a VIA Metropolitan Transit bus), another motorist, or even a manufacturer if mechanical failure was involved. An experienced attorney can investigate the crash and identify all liable parties to help you pursue full compensation.
