California Bus Accident Attorney
Buses are a convenient mode of transportation.
However, buses are much larger and heavier than passenger cars, which means they can cause more severe damage in the event of an accident.
They also often have limited seat belt availability, and passengers frequently suffer severe injuries in accidents.
If you have been injured in a bus accident in California, you may have the right to recover compensation for your damages.
However, insurance companies will work to deny or devalue your claim, so you need an experienced California bus accident lawyer to protect your rights.
At Jacoby & Meyers, our bus accident lawyers have over fifty years of experience securing maximum compensation for our clients, and we want to do the same for you.

Injuries Commonly Sustained in Bus Accidents
Due to the size and weight of most buses, accidents often result in catastrophic injuries.
Some types of injuries sustained in California bus accidents include traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord damage, neck and back injuries, and soft tissue injuries.
Other common types of injuries in bus accidents are broken bones, internal injuries, burns, facial and dental injuries, lacerations, and contusions.
You must seek immediate medical attention after a bus accident, even if you do not believe your injuries are severe.
Many life-threatening injuries are not immediately apparent.
Getting prompt medical attention can save your life and help protect your right to recover compensation.
Compensation in Bus Accident Claims
Compensation depends on several factors, such as the severity of your injuries, the circumstances that led up to and caused the accident, your age, and more. In a successful California bus accident claim, you may be able to recover economic damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs incurred due to your injuries.
You may also be able to recover non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and other intangible costs.
