North Las Vegas Bus Accident Lawyer
North Las Vegas Bus Accident Attorney
Thousands of people in North Las Vegas rely on bus transportation every day. Tour buses are common in the area, managed by private companies, and residents’ children rely on school bus transportation throughout the school year. While most bus drivers operate their vehicles safely and bus accidents are far less common than standard passenger vehicle accidents, bus accidents can and do happen for many reasons each year.
Helping North Las Vegas Bus Accident Victims Recover
If you or a loved one suffered injuries in a bus accident that someone else caused, it is essential to know how you can recover compensation for the losses you suffered. The right attorney can be an invaluable asset in this situation, helping you uncover the full breadth of the damages you can include in your claim and guiding you through the civil claim filing process. The attorneys at Easton & Easton have helped many personal injury victims in North Las Vegas, and we are ready to leverage this experience on your behalf.
How to Recover From Your Bus Accident
Before the victim of any motor vehicle accident or other personal injury can recover any compensation for their damages, it is crucial for them to prove fault for their losses. You must identify the responsible party for your bus accident and prove their actions directly resulted in your claimed damages. Most bus companies are common carriers, organizations that offer transportation as a paid service to the public. All common carriers are responsible for ensuring proper employee training and providing the safest service possible to all customers. When they fail in this in any way, they are liable for the resulting damages.
It’s possible for a bus company, an individual driver, a school bus service, or a school district to bear fault for your accident. It is also possible for a third party to cause a bus accident or for fault to fall to multiple defendants. The first step in your recovery is proving the exact cause of your accident and identifying the party or parties responsible for causing it. Once you handle this, you can proceed with establishing the damages you suffered and proving the defendant directly caused them.
Easton & Easton can help secure compensation for your economic losses after a bus accident, including property damage, medical expenses, future medical treatment costs, lost income, and lost future earning potential. We can also help you seek pain and suffering compensation that reflects the severity of the emotional distress and physical pain you experienced in the incident. Ultimately, you could be entitled to claim far more compensation than you might expect, and the right attorney is the optimal resource to consult when it comes to getting the most out of your recovery.
FAQs
Q: Can I Sue for a Bus Accident in Las Vegas?
A: If another party is responsible for causing the bus accident that recently injured you, you have the right to seek accountability with a civil suit. Your North Las Vegas bus accident attorney can help determine whether the bus driver, their employer, or a third party is responsible for your accident. It’s possible to have grounds for a claim against a bus company if your accident happened while riding a private bus, or you could have grounds for a claim against a school bus company and/or a school district if your child was hurt in a school bus accident.
Q: Why Should I Hire a North Las Vegas Bus Accident Personal Injury Lawyer?
A: You are not obligated to hire legal counsel for your bus accident claim and may attempt to handle the case on your own if you wish, but you must understand the serious risks you take in doing so. You could unintentionally settle for far less than you are legally allowed to claim from the defendant, or you could make procedural errors that jeopardize your case entirely. Hiring legal counsel that you can trust enables you to approach the case with confidence and focus on your medical needs while your attorney handles your case proceedings on your behalf.
Q: How Much Can I Claim in Compensation for a Bus Accident in North Las Vegas?
A: If you can prove another party is responsible for any type of vehicle accident in Nevada, they are liable for all injuries and financial losses they inflicted. The average claimant will be able to recover compensation for their medical bills, lost income during the time they were unable to work after their accident, property damage, and pain and suffering. Your North Las Vegas bus accident attorney can uncover the various forms of compensation you can include in your claim.
Q: What Will Happen if I’m Partially Liable for a Bus Accident?
A: If you were driving your own vehicle and contributed to causing a bus accident, this may not entirely negate your ability to claim compensation from the other driver. The state follows the modified comparative negligence rule, meaning it’s possible for a plaintiff to share partial liability for their claimed damages. If the plaintiff holds less than half the fault, they can recover compensation, but their fault percentage is subtracted from their award. If they are 50% or more at fault, they cannot recover damages.
Q: What if I Can’t Afford to Hire a North Las Vegas Bus Accident Attorney?
A: There is no need to worry about the potential cost of your legal fees when you hire Easton & Easton to represent you in your bus accident case. We take your claim on a contingency fee basis, only collecting a fee if and when we win compensation for your damages. Our fee is a portion of the amount we recover on your behalf, and you keep the rest. This system ensures you can have the legal counsel you need at no financial risk in an already challenging situation.

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.
