California Bus Crash and Bus Collision Attorney
Public buses and private chartered buses are some of the largest vehicles on city streets and roads. Although relatively slow, the length and weight of buses make them difficult to maneuver and to stop. Bus drivers must use necessary care and skill driving in traffic on streets and must follow standards for safe bus operation. At the Law Office of Kent Heeringa, we are experienced in handling bus accident cases and familiar with the rules and standards for safe bus operation. We take an aggressive hands-on approach and work tirelessly to pursue claims against negligent bus drivers and bus companies.

Accidents Involving Public Buses
Buses often abruptly pull in and out of traffic while making routine stops and cut corners when turning. Bus drivers have a duty not to pull carelessly out into the path of oncoming traffic or endanger pedestrians at corners or in crosswalks. If you were struck by a bus pulling out into traffic, it is important to initiate an immediate investigation. Do not settle with an insurance company without first consulting with an experienced attorney who can properly valuate your case and claim.
We are experienced in bus accidents and cases involving:
- Public buses
- Private chartered buses
- Pedestrian and bike accidents
- Pulling in and out of traffic
- Violations of the Rules of the Road
- Failure to follow standards and guidelines for safe bus operation
Negligent Bus Drivers
Operating such large vehicles, bus drivers have a duty to watch out for children and other pedestrians on the road. Usually, a bus company will have safety procedures and standards that its drivers must follow while operating a vehicle on the road. Unfortunately, many drivers must cut corners to save time and finish their routes on schedule. If you were hit by a bus while crossing the street or were struck while in your vehicle, you have the right to maximum compensation from any negligent driver and a negligent bus company.
