Various types of bus accidents can occur: with school buses, public transit, and private company buses or vans. The considerable size of most buses creates a significant impact that can result in serious injury or even fatality.
Our firm at Frank Penney Injury Lawyers has experience in fighting a wrongful death case that was caused by a tragic bus collision. Working on a joint prosecution team, we secured over 7 million dollars for all claimants.
You will not find a more thorough lawyer than Frank Penney. He gets to the bottom of things and produces results. He is courteous, friendly, and amazingly down-to-earth.

Since most buses don’t come equipped with seat belts and passengers sometimes have to stand in the aisles, it’s possible for a passenger to be jolted or even ejected from the bus during a collision.
Who is at Fault?
Depending on the circumstances, the bus accident may be caused by the driver’s negligence, or the bus company’s negligence to follow through with repairs and maintenance. Large commercial buses are similar to large commercial trucks in that frequent inspections are legally required; but even when repairs are made to faulty equipment, they may not necessarily be made properly.
In accidents with public school buses and public transit, the liable party may be a
government entity. In these cases, claims must
be filed within a given deadline, usually only six months after the accident. Your school bus accident lawyer will investigate and comply with a very specific set of procedures.
What You Can Do After a Bus Accident Injury
First, seek medical care and document as many details about the accident as you can. Then contact one of the experienced
personal injury attorneys in our office right away. We cover all of the investigative details, like viewing security camera footage, interviewing witnesses, and obtaining copies of the police report. Our job is to make sure you receive the

If you were involved in a wreck with a bus, it is important to act quickly. We want to make sure that you are compensated If the careless actions of a bus driver resulted in serious injuries for you.

“This is a Rockstar Firm!”
Priscilla was awesome! My wife and I were in a major accident and were not at fault. We tried working with the insurance company of the driver at fault and they would not work with us. Priscilla was able to take the stress off of us and did everything she could to make it as easy as possible. This is a Rockstar firm and I would send anyone I know to them!

“James and Priscilla Fought Both Harder & Smarter on My Behalf”
After I was injured in a substantial rear-end collision, I knew I was going to need some serious help in the days ahead, so I contacted Frank Penney right away, which turned out to be a very smart move as I quickly learned that the opposition had next to no thoughts of offering me any reasonable compensation for my injuries, medical bills and lost earnings. The other insurance company fought hard to avoid accepting responsibility but James and Priscilla fought both harder and smarter on my behalf. I was shocked when my case ultimately went all the way to trial, but I was impressed watching James deliver a solid victory for my case, a victory that not only met but exceeded our last demand. I hope I am never hurt in another collision, but if I am, I’ll be returning to Frank Penney and his staff. Thanks to James and Priscilla for getting me a such positive outcome.

“Understanding and Helpful Throughout This Very Hard Time”
Frank D. Penney Law office was such a pleasure to work with. After interviewing several other law offices to handle our case we knew we would allow Frank D. Penney to take our case the moment he left the room. His office was able to make our four individual cases run smoothly together. They were so understanding and so helpful throughout this very hard time we’ve all had to live through. They were very professional yet personable from the secretary to the top from day one. Individually and as a group in regards to the office I think I speak for all four of us when I say how much of a blessing this office has been to us. I highly recommend this office for any personal injury cases, I know you will not be disappointed.

“They Were Very Up-Front and Honest with Me”
My experience with Frank Penney’s Law Firm has been wonderful. They were very up-front and honest with me and were able to seek the maximum reimbursement for my injuries. I hope I am in a position that I will ever need an attorney again, but if I am, I will come back!

“I Received the Maximum Policy Pay-outs”
In May 2014, I was rear ended on my way home from work. I knew early on that physically, there was something wrong. As the primary earner for my family, my greatest concern was ending up with substantial debt as a result of the cost of my need for ongoing medical care. Frank’s staff was very helpful in putting me at ease by ensuring that I always received regular updates on the status of my case. Then, in October 2015, I was rear ended on my way to work. A second rear ender? Really? I couldn’t believe it. It was unfathomable; I was absolutely frazzled and flabbergasted. But yet again, Frank and his staff were incredibly supportive in helping me navigate what was now an even more complex situation.
After two years and having to endure constant doctors appointments, constantly getting prescriptions and finally the process of having titanium rods hammered in to my hip/SI joint, Priscilla specifically, was incredibly effective at ensuring that I received the maximum policy pay outs that spanned across three different insurance companies. The payouts were sufficient to cover the medical costs and then some. Ultimately, these accidents have changed my life and have limited my physical abilities. The impact to me impacts my family but I cannot imagine having to manage this ridiculous situation without the support of Frank’s team (Priscilla, James, Elsa, Rachel and Yuri). If you need support and want to be treated like a person in the process, Frank Penney’s firm is the firm for you.

“Recommend Friends & Family to This Law Firm”
They were awesome. Very professional and would recommend friends and family to this law firm. I would definitely come back. My attorney was Priscilla and she was great! Answered all my calls and if I left her a voicemail she would call right back.

“The Best Decision I Ever Made”
Call Frank Penney Law and let go of your worry and frustration and secure needed funds for future possible medical care. We were rear ended and our SUV totaled. Our family had just moved to NC from CA. My daughter and I were together in the car and were injured from the accident. Our first priority was getting better and finding the proper medical care that would lead to a full recovery. I also had to deal with the auto and medical insurance companies and all the bills that start coming in the mail after receiving needed medical treatment. It was becoming overwhelming and then came all sorts of letters in the mail from lawyers that wanted our case. I didn’t feel comfortable with any of their attempts to get my business. But I needed help. I called Frank, since I had known him when we lived in CA, and when he explained how he and his staff could help me and basically take everything off my plate that was stressing me out and that our physical location across the country didn’t matter, I said “yes, please help us.” Frank talked with me as if he had all the time in the world and I felt completely comfortable turning everything over to him. The settlement was more than I could have received on my own and the fact that I could hand it all over to him to resolve was without a doubt worth it! It was the best decision I ever made throughout this process. We were supported by Frank’s knowledgeable staff. I can, without hesitation, recommend Penney law offices with the highest praise.
