Bus Accidents

Seattle, Washington Bus Accident Lawyer

Injured in a bus accident? We can help. Seattle area roadways are filled with bustling traffic. Due to the congestion on major highways and the cost and environmental impact of owning a vehicle, many commuters choose to take advantage of public transportation, including Metro Transit, Sound Transit and the light-rail and train systems.

While the light-rail and trains are relatively safe modes of transportation, bus passengers may not be so lucky. As the number of people using buses as their main source of transportation grows, so do accounts of serious bus accidents and injuries.

At The Law Office of Steven G. Toole, P.S., in Bellevue, Washington, we help passengers, pedestrians and other drivers injured in bus accidents. If you or a loved one has been involved in a privately-owned or public bus collision, personal injury lawyer Steve Toole is prepared to help you fight for justice.

Evaluating the Cause of a Bus Accident

There are many reasons bus accidents happen. Buses can be difficult to drive. An inexperienced, poorly trained, or fatigued driver may lose control and collide with another vehicle, building, or pedestrian crossing the street.

Improper maintenance may also result in a bus accident. Private bus companies make money only when their vehicles are on the road. Maintenance and regular safety inspections may be put off or ignored completely until it is too late.

Attorney Toole has more than 30 years of experience investigating personal injury claims. He will carefully investigate and analyze the facts of your case, seeking to hold those responsible accountable for what has taken place.

Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve

Injuries from bus accidents can lead to extensive medical bills. Victims may have difficulty returning to work immediately, if at all. The financial impact on an injured person and his or her family can be immense, perhaps topped only by the emotional toll they are experiencing.

Mr. Toole aggressively pursues full and fair compensation for injuries, medical bills, lost wages and more. You did not ask for this traumatic event to take place. Although no amount of money can change what happened, a monetary recovery can help to ease some of the burdens you are facing. Contact The Law Office of Steven G.
