WHAT IS A BUS ACCIDENT CLAIM?

Bus companies owe you the highest duty of care.

Buses carry dozens of people who have no seatbelt and no control over how the vehicle is driven. That’s why Wisconsin law holds bus operators, as common carriers, to a higher standard of care than an ordinary driver. When a city bus, charter coach or school bus driver is distracted, fatigued, speeding or poorly trained, the consequences can be severe.

These cases are rarely simple. The responsible party may be a transit authority, a school district, a private bus contractor, a maintenance company or another driver, and claims against government entities follow special rules. Our role is to identify every liable party, gather the evidence, and take your case to litigation if that’s what it takes.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked.

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Reach out and we’ll answer directly.

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee: we advance all case costs, and if we don’t recover, you owe us nothing. If we win, our fee is one-third or less of the settlement, plus the actual case costs.

Yes, and it’s short. Under Wisconsin law (Wis. Stat. § 893.80), a written notice of claim must generally be served on a government entity within 120 days of the accident, and damages against public entities are capped. Private bus companies follow the standard personal injury deadline (Wis. Stat. § 893.54). Call us as soon as possible.

Get your child medical attention first, even if the injuries seem minor. Then write down the bus number, the route and the names of any witnesses. Contact us before speaking with the district’s or the bus company’s insurer.
