Nevada Bus Accident Lawyer
Nevada Bus Accident Attorneys
Thousands of people throughout Nevada use bus transportation regularly, and while bus accidents are far less common than passenger vehicle accidents, they can and do happen for many reasons and often have devastating effects. If you or a loved one recently suffered injuries in a bus accident, you need to speak with a Nevada bus accident lawyer as soon as possible to determine your most viable legal options.
Representing Bus Accident Victims Throughout Nevada
Easton & Easton has decades of experience helping injured clients throughout Nevada with all types of vehicle crash cases, and we know the complex legal issues that bus accidents can present when it comes to recovering compensation for the damages these accidents cause. With our assistance, you can approach your legal proceedings with confidence and peace of mind, knowing you have a dedicated legal advocate ready to assist you with every phase of your case.
When you hire our team to represent you in a bus accident case, we can take time to learn as much as possible about the accident and the effects it has had on your life. We can help you determine liability for the accident and begin an assessment of the damages you could potentially recover if you succeed with your claim. Depending on who is responsible for the accident, filing an auto insurance claim may be an important initial step in your recovery.
When you need to build a personal injury suit against another party in response to a bus accident, trust our firm to provide robust legal counsel for all aspects of the case. You can rely on our team to accurately identify the party or parties responsible for the accident, calculate the total scope of your claimable damages, and explain your options for resolving your case as efficiently as possible. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can start building your case.
Proving Liability for a Bus Accident
In Nevada, all vehicle crash cases are resolved based on fault. This means the party at fault for a vehicle accident absorbs liability for the resulting damages, and an injured victim will need to prove fault before they can recover any compensation for their damages. This can be more challenging in some cases than others, and bus accidents commonly raise very difficult questions of liability.
For example, you could face a very different set of legal challenges if you are seeking compensation for damages suffered in an accident with a privately owned bus than you would if you are filing suit in response to a school bus accident that harmed your child. It’s possible for liability for the accident to fall to the bus driver, their employer, a school district, a bus company, or a third party driving their own vehicle. It’s also possible for multiple parties to share fault.
Your Nevada bus accident lawyer can help you gather various types of evidence that could be useful in proving fault for your accident. They may seek out witnesses who saw the accident happen and obtain their statements, traffic camera footage, secure cell phone records, and vehicle computer data to help you prove the exact cause of your accident. Once you prove fault, you can proceed with claiming compensation from the party or parties at fault.
Recovering Compensation for a Bus Accident
If you intend to claim compensation for a bus accident in Nevada, you must first determine the full scope of the damages you suffered in the accident. Like any other vehicle accident, a bus accident is likely to result in economic and non-economic damages. Your Nevada bus accident lawyer can help you accurately calculate the economic damages you can claim from the defendant.
A bus accident is likely to result in severe injuries, and the victim may require extensive medical care and be unable to work for an extended period. Medical bills and the inability to work can quickly create a very difficult financial problem for the victim and their family. They may also struggle with intense physical pain and psychological trauma in the aftermath of their accident.
Non-economic damages in a bus accident case include physical pain, emotional distress, and trauma the victim has suffered due to the incident. It can be difficult for the average person to assign monetary value to these intangible losses, but your attorney can provide helpful guidance and assist you with maximizing this aspect of your recovery.
Easton & Easton approaches every Nevada personal injury case we accept with the goal of maximizing our client’s recovery as efficiently as possible. If you have the option to file an auto insurance claim after your bus accident, you can rely on us to negotiate with insurance carriers for you to ensure you receive a fair settlement offer. If insurance can’t fully cover your losses, we will do everything we can to maximize your compensation from a personal injury suit.
Resolving Your Bus Accident Case
Proving liability for the bus accident is just the first of several challenges you are likely to face in the aftermath of such an event. Your Nevada personal injury lawyer can help you prove fault and uncover the full scope of the damages you are eligible to claim from the defendant. They can also help you determine the optimal path to recovering these damages and be ready to address any unexpected complications that arise throughout your proceedings.
The attorneys at Easton & Easton have extensive professional experience with a wide range of complex vehicle crash cases. Whether you must pursue compensation from a bus driver, their employer, a bus company, a school district, or a third-party driver, you can rely on our team to build a solid case for you aimed at securing maximum compensation for your damages.
You have a relatively short time to file your case. You must work quickly to gather the evidence needed to prove fault for your accident and meet the procedural deadlines that apply to your case. Easton & Easton is ready to provide the legal support you need in this difficult situation, and the sooner you contact our team, the more time we will have to build a compelling case for you.
FAQs
What Are the Most Common Injuries From Bus Accidents?

Some victims may recover with time and appropriate treatment, while others may suffer extremely debilitating permanent harm. Your Nevada bus accident lawyer can help you assess the full scope of the damages you are eligible to claim from the defendant in your case.
How Much Compensation Can I Receive for a Bus Accident?
The total amount of compensation you can receive for a bus accident depends on multiple factors, such as the overall severity of the injuries you suffered and whether you have sustained any permanent harm. Your Nevada bus accident lawyer can help you calculate the total damages you can seek from the defendant, and they may reveal avenues of compensation you did not realize were available to you.
How Long Does It Take to Resolve a Bus Accident Case?

Your Nevada bus accident lawyer can help you determine the most efficient way to resolve your case and maximize the total compensation you win from the defendant.
Why Should I Hire a Nevada Bus Accident Lawyer?
You should hire a Nevada bus accident lawyer because you are significantly more likely to succeed with the case when you have legal counsel on your side.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
