Bus Accident Attorney in Denver, Colorado
Passengers in bus accidents often sustain serious injuries that require extensive medical attention. Likewise, pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists and occupants in other cars who are injured as a result of an accident involving a bus commonly suffer serious injuries. From our office in Denver, Colorado, our staff at the Law Office of Jennifer L. Donaldson provides clients with professional and tailored representation in a wide range of bus accident situations.
Tour buses often travel on the highways throughout Colorado, transporting visitors to the many recreational sites around the state. These buses are mostly owned and operated by private companies and possibly chartered by a private group. When a bus is involved in an accident, the company may be liable for the damages that are sustained, such as traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injuries.
If the private company is found to be liable, there is no limitation on the amount of damages you can seek to fully compensate you for your injuries, other than the state-set guidelines that govern the compensation that can be awarded in personal injury cases. Whether the bus was just passing through the state or headed for a Colorado destination, we can assist clients in taking control of their legal issues so they can focus on healing.

Public Bus Accidents
Public bus accidents, such as a school bus accident or mass transit accident, are subject to strict governmental immunity limitations. That is, the amount of damages that injured people can recover from these types of accidents are limited. There are also very specific time limitations for providing the governmental entity involved with notice of a potential claim. Typically, an injured party has 180 days during which to give proper notice of a claim for damages in a government-owned bus accident. If proper notice is not given within the 180 days, you may forever lose your ability to pursue a claim. If you have been injured, it is essential that you contact a skilled, competent lawyer as soon as possible after the accident to ensure that your rights are protected.
