Fighting For Bus Accident Victims in Colorado

In October of 2013, a Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) bus crashed on Colorado 82. In September 2018, District Judge John Neiley ordered RFTA to pay almost $150,000 in legal fees to the two co-plaintiffs in a civil lawsuit.

The RFTA was found by a jury to be 50 percent responsible for the crash, as reported by Jason Auslander of The Aspen Times. Bus accidents, unfortunately, do happen. If you, a friend, a family member, or another loved one is involved in such an accident, you are likely to need the assistance of a bus accident legal firm.

View Our Case Results 

Denver personal injury cases can be straightforward at times; more often, however, these kinds of settlements are involved, complicated, and drawn out over a long period of time.

Here at Tenge Law Firm LLC, we work diligently to ensure that our clients get the maximum recovery they deserve. While each case is unique and it’s not possible to guarantee a specific outcome based on past results, some examples of the successful cases we have handled include:

  • A case in which a client, injured in a construction accident due to a subcontractor’s negligence, received $1,100,000 for his injuries which caused him to suffer severe Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
  • Another client was riding her motorcycle when a truck pulled out in front of her. The motorcycle driver sustained broken bones and traumatic brain injury. Tenge Law Firm LLC recovered $1,025,000 for this client from the truck driver’s insurance company.
  • When a client was rear-ended and sustained lower back injuries, which required several spinal surgeries, Tenge Law Firm LLC collected $812,000, in part from the client’s insurance company and also from the other driver at fault’s insurance company.

What to Do After a Bus Accident

Make sure to follow these steps following an accident:

  • Seek Medical Attention: Make sure to prioritize your health and safety. Even if injuries seem minor, a thorough medical evaluation is essential for your well-being and documentation in your claim.
  • Contact Law Enforcement: Notify the police about the accident. An official report can serve as helpful evidence.
  • Gather Evidence: Gather information from witnesses, take photographs of the accident scene, and obtain the bus driver’s details.
  • Avoid Speaking to Insurance Adjusters: Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. Abstain from making statements or accepting settlements without legal representation.
  • Consult a Bus Accident Attorney: An experienced attorney can help navigate the complexities of your claim and advocate for your best interests.

Common Causes of Bus Accidents

Common causes may include the following:

  • Driver Negligence: Speeding, distracted driving, or fatigue could lead to catastrophic accidents.
  • Poor Maintenance: Inadequate inspection or faulty repairs can cause mechanical failures.
  • Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, or ice can create hazardous driving conditions.
  • Reckless Driving by Other Motorists: Other drivers who disregard traffic laws can force a bus into dangerous situations.
  • Defective Parts: Malfunctioning brakes, tires, or steering systems can contribute to accidents.

Common Injuries in Bus Accidents 

Just as in other types of vehicle accidents, a bus collision can result in numerous complications based on the severity of the crash.

Factors such as weather conditions, the speed at which drivers were going, negligence on the part of the driver, and other elements can determine what kind of injuries occur from the accident. Physical injuries can include:

The aftermath of a bus accident can be devastating, not only physically but also emotionally and financially. Victims often face extensive medical treatments and rehabilitation, which can lead to significant financial strain. At Tenge Law Firm LLC, we aim to alleviate these burdens by securing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs.

Who Is at Fault in Bus Accident Cases?

Responsible parties can vary depending on the facts of each case. Sometimes, bus accidents can be caused by third parties, such as other vehicles that did not follow the traffic rules. Consulting a bus accident lawyer in Denver can help clarify liability issues.

Other times, the bus driver may be at fault due to distracted driving, driving under the influence, or not following traffic rules. In Iowa, a bus driver was found to be liable when the driver’s Sioux City bus hit an SUV driven by Chad Plante at an intersection.

Plante was in a coma for weeks and completed months of rehabilitation after suffering broken legs and brain injuries. The bus driver was found at fault for failure to obey a traffic control device.

In another case in Colorado, an RFTA bus swerved to move around a slow-moving tractor; this quick movement caused six passengers to be ejected from the bus. The jury found the driver to be 50 percent at fault for the accident.

Cases can be more complicated if the bus driver was at fault, because many buses are government-owned and operated. Cases against the government are complex and often involve a shorter window of opportunity to file. For more information about your bus accident injury case, contact Tenge Law Firm LLC today.
