Bus Accidents
When Safety and Training Failures Result in Injury
It takes a lot of training to operate a commercial bus safely. Likewise, it can take extra attention to vehicle maintenance to ensure that a bus does not pose a hazard to other motorists. If someone made a mistake or failed to do their job and you were hurt in a bus accident, we can help.
At the Houston law firm of Adame & Associates, you will find an attorney with the skill and experience to help you recover after a bus accident. We handle a full range of these cases, including:

Whether you were injured in an accident involving a casino bus, a tour bus, an elderly transport bus, an airport shuttle bus or any other commercial bus in the Texas Gulf Coast region, we can help. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Causes of Bus Accidents
Like many commercial vehicle accidents, driver inattention is one of the key causes or contributing factors in many bus accidents. This is compounded by the fact that some bus companies are known to hire unlicensed drivers — people who do not have a commercial driver's license (CDL) and who don't possess the necessary understanding of safety standards or regulations.
If a bus company hires an unqualified driver, or if it fails to meet safety standards with regards to proper bus maintenance, and an accident results, the company can be held liable to pay for damages. If you were hurt in a bus accident, we can step in immediately to investigate. We will work hard to uncover evidence of incompetence or negligence and to establish a strong case for your recovery.
