Bus Accidents

At Tedford & Associates, our Pasadena bus accident injury attorneys have been pursuing maximum compensation in cases of bus driver negligence since 1994. In 2010, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration reported 1,118 bus crashes and 23 bus accident deaths in California. The agency also found that across the country over a 10-year period from 2000 to 2010, 12 percent of all buses involved in fatal collisions were intercity buses.

School buses accounted for 40 percent, while transit buses accounted for 35 percent. At Tedford & Associates, we meticulously investigate the facts regarding all bus accident cases, whether they involve school buses, commuter buses, tour buses or private coaches. Working together with our team of accident specialists, including accident reconstructionists, safety engineers, and forensics experts, we can determine exactly how the accident occurred, knowing that bus companies and their insurance companies may work fast to eliminate evidence that could work against them.

Bus accident cases can be complex. Government entities may be involved in school bus incidents, for instance. Private bus companies may be national or international firms. At Tedford & Associates, we do whatever it takes to determine the identity of the at-fault parties to get you favorable results.

Attorney Tedford knows what it’s like to suffer injuries because of someone else’s negligence after being involved in a serious auto accident with an uninsured driver. We know how important it is to get sufficient compensation to cover expenses now and for the future.
