Denver Bus Accident Lawyers
If you’ve been injured in a bus accident — whether you’ve been hit by a bus or were injured as a passenger in a bus — you have rights and deserve representation.
The attorneys at Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers are committed to their clients, and getting the best-possible results for them.
The most important thing to remember is not to agree to anything proposed by an insurance company before you talk to a lawyer. Often, when there’s a tour bus accident, or a school bus accident, insurance companies descend on the injured parties and try to coax them into signing agreements.
Don’t do this.
Those insurance companies are trying to get a fast solution and prevent you from finding out the truth behind the accident, uncovering negligence, establishing liability and fighting for an appropriate claim.
What to Do after a Bus Accident
If you’ve been in an accident with a bus, seek medical attention immediately and cooperate with all police and first responders. You should document your thoughts and recollections — take pictures if you can. Get names of anyone involved, as well as their contact information.
If you were a passenger in a vehicle that was hit by a bus, the same scenario applies.
When your health is stabilized, you — or a family member — should contact an experienced and trustworthy attorney immediately. If you choose the Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers’ legal team, we’ll immediately launch our own investigation. Our team of bus accident attorneys is experienced in handling these often-confusing scenarios. There could be several people or entities liable, as well as defective products or other factors that caused your injuries.
Working for Victims
Bus accidents occur in every state and seemingly any scenario. They include:
- School buses
- City buses
- Mass transportation trains/trolleys
- Tour buses
- Coach buses
- Charter buses
- Other private buses
FAQs: Bus Accidents in Denver
Q: If I am a passenger on a bus and I am injured, whom can I sue for damages?
A: The answer depends who is at fault. If you are a passenger on a bus and are hit by an at-fault automobile driver, you may sue the driver. You may also sue the bus driver if they are negligent, the bus company (whether privately or publically owned) or the manufacturer of a faulty bus.
Q: Who may I sue for my injuries if I am a passenger in an automobile that is hit by a bus?
A: You may sue whoever is potentially liable (at fault) for the accident. This would include the driver of the vehicle in which you were a passenger, any other at-fault automobile driver, the bus operator, the bus company, or the builder of a defective bus.
Q: Does a bus owe its passengers and special duties of care?
A: Yes, a bus is considered a common carrier and therefore has special duties of care that it owes its passengers. A common carrier is an entity such as a bus, cab or train, whose business is to transport people or goods from one place to another.
In Colorado, a common carrier has a duty to its passengers to use the highest degree of care in proportion with the practical operation of their business.[1] A common carrier is obligated to provide its passengers with a safe place to exit and board the vehicle.[2] Additionally, a common carrier has a duty to refrain from creating any condition that would subject its passengers to a risk of injury.[3]
Q: If I am a pedestrian that has been hit by a bus while walking or waiting for the bus, whom may I sue?
A: You may sue whoever is at fault for your injuries. This may include a public entity that has poorly maintained the crosswalk or sidewalk, the owner of the bus, the driver of the bus, an at-fault automobile driver, or an illegally parked car that may have blocked the bus driver’s view of you. A thorough investigation may need to be conducted in order to obtain all the possible defendants.
Q: Who would be held liable if I was assaulted while on a bus?
A: The person that assaulted you will be liable for the attack. However, in some situations, the bus company may be held liable (at fault). If the bus company did not use reasonable care to assist in insuring a reasonably safe environment they may be held liable.

"I had a wonderful time talking with my agent today. My car accident was in Phoenix on 5/21 around noon.

"Working with Marc Lamber and the rest of the team has been a pleasure from the start. They made sure to take care of me and were transparent every step of the way and I'm happy to have found them."
"I was in a recent car accident, I called the top 5 injury attorneys from Google & Lamber Goodnow was the best… I liked them the most! The lady was personal & empathetic. She knew her stuff, she talked like she's been there & that really gave me comfort. That's the kind of law firm I wanna work with."
"I was in a bicycle accident going home from work last week; my friend connected me with this law firm, and I'm glad they did! Ann was incredibly empathetic, anticipated any questions I would have being new to the whole 'seeking compensation for injury' thing, and knew the area well enough to know exactly where the accident was. She was thorough yet concise, it didn't feel like a sales pitch whatsoever."
"From the first call, she met me with genuine empathy and calm professionalism. She didn't rush me or treat the situation like just another case, she actually listened to what I was going through after my car accident. She explained the process, the potential fees, and what representation would realistically look like, no confusion, no pressure, just honest guidance."
"Starting a personal injury claim can be extremely overwhelming, but the initial consultation put me right at ease. She explained the legal process in plain language without any kind of confusing jargon. If you want a firm that treats you like a person rather than just a case, this is definitely the place to go."
"I had an excellent experience with this law firm from the very first phone call, and made me feel valued and supported during a difficult time after my accident. The onboarding process was explained in great detail, and I never felt confused or rushed. Her professionalism, patience, and attention to detail gave me confidence that I had chosen the right law firm to represent me."
"I was a passenger in an accident and I have 100% confidence that I chose the right law firm. I was worried about my case but after speaking with the agent, I am at ease. The agent made me feel like I would not be alone throughout my painful ordeal. Great job and thank you for doing such an excellent job!"
