BUS ACCIDENTS
Cases Our Austin Bus Accident Attorneys Handle
Bus crashes differ from ordinary fender-benders: they often involve dozens of passengers, multiple layers of insurance, and public or commercial transit operators. At Dang Law Group, our Austin bus accident attorneys investigate every angle to pinpoint fault and maximize your compensation. Common causes include:
- Distracted driving – Operators checking route tablets, texting dispatch, or talking to passengers can miss sudden stops or turns.
- Excessive speed – Buses need far more distance to brake; speeding through tight city streets or highways magnifies collision risk.
- Adverse weather – Rain-slicked roads on I-35, dense Hill Country fog, or high winds can make a 30-ton vehicle difficult to control.
- Mechanical failures – Faulty brakes, worn tires, or steering defects may trace back to negligent maintenance contractors or manufacturers.
- Improper signaling or lane changes – Failure to use turn indicators or check blind spots can sideswipe smaller vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians.
We also see a wide range of accident types:
- Front-impact collisions with other buses or trucks when drivers misjudge stopping distance
- Side-impact (“T-bone”) crashes at downtown intersections where buses ignore right-of-way
- Rear-end impacts caused by sudden stops at crowded stops or construction zones
- Rollover accidents on curved ramps or rural roads, often linked to excessive speed or tire blowouts
Consequences You Might Face After an Austin Bus Accident
A collision with a 30-ton bus can leave far more than a dent in your day—its sheer mass often magnifies every injury and loss you suffer.
Head injuries are especially common. Passengers may experience closed-head trauma such as concussions, contusions, or hematomas, or more serious open injuries like lacerations or skull fractures caused by shattered glass or overhead luggage racks. These wounds can trigger both immediate and long-term effects, including migraines, dizziness, memory loss, and even personality changes.
Back and spinal injuries are another frequent outcome. The violent jolt of a bus crash can produce whiplash, herniated discs, or, in extreme cases, spinal cord damage that results in partial or complete paralysis. Prompt diagnosis followed by intensive rehabilitation—or sometimes surgery—is crucial to prevent lifelong complications.
Passengers also commonly suffer limb injuries. Fractured arms or legs, dislocated joints, and torn ligaments occur when riders are slammed against seats or handrails. Nerve damage is possible as well, restricting mobility and impacting future earning capacity. Treatment often involves immobilization, extensive physical therapy, and, for severe injuries, orthopedic surgery.
Beyond physical harm, victims frequently endure pain and suffering in the form of anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress. These emotional scars can be as debilitating as broken bones, which is why our team insists they be fully addressed in any claim.
Property damage can extend well past dents and scratches. Personal items such as phones, laptops, bicycles on bus racks, or even other vehicles may be destroyed, forcing you to pay for repairs, replacements, and alternative transportation while you recover.
