The U.S. bussing industry has its own trade groups. Sometimes the group and its members will take positions which are financially beneficial to members in the group but not in the best interests of those who ride busses. Safety should be a priority with any bus, whether it be a school bus, interstate bus line, bus tour company, or any other company that utilizes busses.
Some people think that once they get on the bus they are safe from injury. The feeling of safety comes from the size of the vehicle compared to most other vehicles on the road. We know as experienced Maricopa County personal injury lawyers that serious accidents can occur to bus passengers. Should you or someone you know have been involved in a Chandler bus accident that resulted in a serious injury, we would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
A person who has been injured in a Chandler bus accident has the same right to hold negligent drivers responsible as with any other car accident on Arizona’s roads. At Breyer Law Offices, we have experienced Chandler bus accident lawyers available who can answer any questions you may have concerning bus safety, bus accidents, or anything else involving a bus accident or other personal injury claim.

It can be challenging finding a top bus accident injury lawyer in Phoenix or elsewhere in Arizona. So many lawyers claim to be experienced personal injury lawyers that often someone with a severe bus accident injury does not know where to go. Legally, anyone can handle a personal injury case. Anyone who has gone to law school and who has passed the State Bar of Arizona can claim that they know how to handle a personal injury claim. An Arizona lawyer that has only been involved in one personal injury case in his or her career can claim to be an experienced personal injury attorney.
The reality is that someone who has been seriously injured in a bus accident of any type needs to contact the best bus accident lawyer that they can find in the State of Arizona. It is not enough to find a neighborhood lawyer but more important that someone who has had a life changing injury or who has lost a loved one get advice they can count on from a straight shooter who has been there and tried the cases and fought for the people who have been seriously injured.
When someone is seriously hurt in a bus accident, that person needs to get in touch with the best bus accident lawyer that can be found in Arizona. Getting just any lawyer to represent a person who has had a life changing injury or who lost a loved one in a bus accident can be a terrible mistake. It is almost always best in such cases to seek out a knowledgeable bus accident trial lawyer who will talk straight with you, letting you know not only the strengths but also the weaknesses in your potential bus accident claim.
At Breyer Law Offices, we have fought numerous cases before juries, helping personal injury victims of bus accidents and other accidents in which someone else was at fault to recover compensation for their injuries. If you would like more information about a potential bus accident claim, or about any other personal injury situation, please do not hesitate to give us a call.
Sometimes it is very difficult to find a personal injury lawyer after a serious car accident. That is not to imply that there are not enough lawyers, but rather that there are so many people who claim that they can handle individual cases. Cases in which a car turns left at an intersection, even when the other was issued a citation under Arizona Revised Statutes ARS 28 772, can become extremely complex. First of all, a vehicle taking a left turn at an intersection is required not to begin turning until they can safely do so. Secondly, the defense for the vehicle that collides with the left-turning often alleges that the other vehicle was speeding, even if a traffic citation was issued at the accident scene for the vehicle turning left.
Those who have been injured in left turn accidents should find the best Arizona personal injury lawyer that they can find. The reason this is so vital that someone in this position seeks legal counsel goes beyond finding the best Tucson personal injury lawyer or best Phoenix car accident attorney you can find. It means rather that an injury victim should find the Arizona personal injury attorney that fits his or her case. The right lawyer will give you honest answers, can guide you through the insurance claims process, and take your case all the way to a jury trial if that is what is necessary to get full and fair compensation for your claim.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We will not charge you for the initial consultation, and work on a contingency basis in all of our personal injury cases. We will give you an honest evaluation of your potential claim so that you can decide on the best course of action for your particular case.
A recent settlement that involved a tragic bus accident in which almost 70 people were either injured or killed shows how important safety is in bus accidents, and brings to the fore the subject of seatbelts in busses. Today, Arizona and other most states do not require seatbelts in busses, even though drivers and passengers of nearly every other vehicle are required to use seatbelts.
This accident shows why seatbelts should be considered, and probably required, in all busses. In this case, the uninjured bus driver was wearing a seatbelt. While most of the passengers were ejected during the crash, the driver’s seatbelt kept him strapped in safely.
Arizona bus accident injury lawyers like us understand that the issues surrounding this bus crash go beyond bus safety and the injuries incurred in this bus accident. Bus accidents will continue to happen, but everything possible should be done to decrease the possibility of personal injury or wrongful death. As ethical and experienced personal injury lawyers, we urge the State of Arizona and States throughout the country to consider implementing laws that require busses to have seatbelts available for passenger use.
An Arizona personal injury attorney can provide answers to those injured in bus accidents. The decision to file a personal injury claim in the event of a bus accident in which one is injured depends very much on the person and situation. It is important to know, however, that getting an Arizona attorney to file a “notice of claims” can often prevent a victim from losing all available rights. We feel it is important that people involved in a bus accident speak to a veteran lawyer so that they can make an informed decision. At Breter Law Offices, we are happy to answer any questions you might have if you or someone close to you has been injured in a bus accident.
The grief felt by the families of those Chinese tourists killed in the recent Arizona bus crash near the Hoover Dam must only get worse as six bodies of those who were wrongfully killed in this bus accident, aged from 15 to 56, were sent back to China.
The report goes on to raise some of the legal concerns around the bus crash. For those who would like to see justice for those wrongful deaths, they will have to wait until 2010 for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to issue its findings on the causes of the bus accident.
The fact that this report will be so long in coming should raise a red flag for anyone familiar with the personal injury system, and especially to personal injury lawyers who could bring claims for the families of those who died or were seriously injured. As the families in China almost certainly know nothing about American personal injury laws, it is an added tragedy that many legitimate claims may fall away due to the missing of important deadlines. This means that even if, as the initial evidence shows, the bus accident was entirely preventable and caused by negligence, these families will lose all right to file claims for personal injury.
We encourage those with severe injuries or families of those who have wrongfully died in an Arizona bus accident to immediately contact Breyer Law Offices or any other experienced Arizona bus accident attorney to help. We or other experienced personal injury attorneys will be able to tell injured parties whether or not there is a case, so that they can make a decision on whether to file suit. In such cases as the bus accident above, we believe those affected should contact an attorney from Arizona to deal with a case that most likely must be filed in an Arizona court.
We feel so strongly that people should have the necessary information before making a decision that we often have had to bring in translators to communicate with potential clients. When it comes to communication with clients, like other skilled Arizona auto accident lawyers, we are able to easily accommodate those who speak English and Spanish. Even so, we have had many other clients who spoke neither of these tongues, and were able to provide them with the necessary information to enable them to make the best decision on how, or even if, they should pursue their legal rights.
The National Transportation Safety Board reported that the bus accident that took the lives of a number of Chinese tourists may have been the bus driver’s fault. There was initial speculation that there may have been something wrong with the door, which distracted the driver, and that “sun glare” also might have blinded the bus driver prior to him losing control. Preliminary investigation found nothing wrong with the door nor did they find any other mechanical problem.
These Chinese tourists were likely enjoying a wonderful occasion and vacation before their bus crashed. It is tragic and extremely unfortunate that lives had to be lost and it is probable that the families of the Chinese tourists involved in this wrongful death accident are unaware of what can be done in terms of seeking compensation for lost wages and other expenses.
As Arizona wrongful death attorneys and personal injury lawyers, we understand that though this case probably does not involve seeking “punitive damages,” the filing of a lawsuit in this situation may very well increase safety for people and perhaps prevent future bus accidents. Since companies are usually in the business to make a profit, the likelihood that the bus company will take safety precautions increases if they are forced to face a lawsuit and they are unlikely to take such measures if there is no threat to their bottom line.
Lives are saved through personal injury lawsuits. Assuming that what happened to this tour bus was preventable, had DW Tour and Charter of San Gabriel, California been exposed to previous lawsuits, they would have been more diligent about safety issues. It is unfortunate but sometimes necessary that companies be threatened with loss of profits in order to safeguard the lives and preclude serious injuries to innocent people.
Should anyone have questions about this bus accident or another serious bus accident, we invite those people to contact us at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. It is necessary that injured parties retain a lawyer from the state in which an accident occurred, or in this case perhaps the state in which the defendant is located, in order for negligent parties to be held responsible for the damages caused.
When a school bus causes serious personal injury in an accident, the situation of those involved can become more complicated than with other bus accidents. Residents of the greater Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area recently saw their city in the national news after a horrible bus collision. An article explains how a bus carrying Western Valley elementary school students went on for about a mile after it first went out of control. This Arizona school bus accident seriously injured 26 people and caused at least a dozen accidents.
Many of these people affected by the incident will never receive the compensation to which they are entitled because of the 180 day deadline for filing a “notice of claim.” They must file a notice of claim properly to the right people and with the correct content. If they do not file a lawsuit during this time, the personal injury plaintiffs will have lost all rights to compensation. The one bright spot in this incident is that none of the children were seriously hurt; but for the rest of the people on that Phoenix street that suffered serious injury, it may be vital that they quickly find the best Arizona personal injury lawyers they can.
It is difficult to decide whether or not to bring a claim after any type of vehicle accident. We strongly recommend that people involved in this bus collision, or any other motor vehicle accident, gather information and have their questions answered by an expert personal injury attorney. At Breyer Law Offices, we invite those who were involved to seek information from us. We will answer your questions honestly. As experienced auto accident lawyers in Phoenix, we know that there may not be a legal claim; however, without investigating further, there is no way to know if a claim may be legally made. With our ample knowledge of Arizona law, we can provide you with information to help you make the best choice for your situation.
At least seven passengers were killed and more were seriously injured in a terrible tour bus accident, according to an account. The tour bus was full of Chinese nationals returning from a visit to the Grand Canyon along a stretch of US Route 93 that runs between Phoenix, Arizona and Las Vegas, New Mexico. The news must have come as a terrible shock to the families of those involved in such a horrible bus crash.
Families of the victims of this bus collision will not be thinking of compensation at this point, but this bus accident will have caused financial hardship for the families of those who died, to which they are likely entitled recompense. A competent personal injury and wrongful death attorney in Phoenix would tell them that foreign visitors or immigrants have a right to bring personal injury lawsuits in cases when they have suffered injury due to negligence by another party. This is the case even if an immigrant is illegal and undocumented.
The law places great importance on holding companies, groups, and individuals accountable for their negligence, even for visitors or immigrants to our country.
We encourage those who have questions about this or another Arizona bus accident to contact us, even if you are unsure whether you should pursue a claim. We are happy to answer your questions. We will help you make the best decision for you and your family.
