Bus Accident Lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia

Howe.Law is a personal injury attorney firm that actually takes cases to trial. Most bus operators and their insurers count on victims accepting a low settlement fast. We don't push you toward a quick check. We build the case, gather the evidence, and go to court if that's what it takes to get you fair compensation.

Bus accidents are different from typical car accident claims. Multiple parties can share liability, including the transit authority, the bus driver, a maintenance contractor, or even a government entity. We know how to identify every responsible party and go after all of them. That experience matters when you're up against a large organization with deep pockets.

Atlanta, Georgia has one of the busiest public transit networks in the Southeast. MARTA buses run millions of trips a year across the metro area, and charter and commercial buses travel I-285, I-75, and I-85 constantly. That volume means bus accidents happen more often than people realize. When they do, the victims are often pedestrians, cyclists, or passengers with no idea where to turn. Howe.Law knows Atlanta's transit landscape and has handled injury cases tied to the city's specific bus routes and carriers.

Who's Liable After Bus Accidents in Atlanta?

Bus accidents can involve more than one at-fault party. The driver may have been speeding or distracted. The transit company may have ignored a maintenance problem. A third-party driver could have caused the crash. In some cases, a government agency that oversees the route bears responsibility.

Sorting out liability quickly matters because some claims against government entities in Georgia have short filing windows. We move fast to preserve your right to sue every party that contributed to your injuries.

Injuries Common in Bus Accident Cases

Passengers on buses ride without seatbelts and with limited protection. A sudden stop or a collision can throw people into seats, windows, or the aisle floor. We see traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, broken bones, and soft tissue damage regularly in these cases.

The size and weight of a commercial bus also means that pedestrians and cyclists struck by one face catastrophic harm. If you or a family member was hurt in a bus collision, get a medical evaluation first, then call us before you speak with any insurance adjuster.
