Whether you were riding the bus, walking nearby, or driving your own vehicle, a bus crash can leave you with devastating injuries and a maze of legal questions. At Malloy Law Offices, our Kensington bus accident attorney helps victims navigate the aftermath of serious transit-related collisions—holding negligent drivers, transit authorities, and private companies accountable.
Bus accidents present challenges that go beyond typical car crashes. These cases often involve:
Public transportation agencies with special legal protections
Complex insurance policies and notice requirements
Multiple victims or overlapping claims
Commercial bus operators or private tour companies
Black box data, security footage, and multiple eyewitness accounts
We know how to cut through bureaucratic delays and legal red tape to pursue full compensation—whether your crash involved a WMATA bus, school bus, charter, or shuttle.
Despite strict safety regulations, serious bus accidents still happen. We represent clients injured in crashes caused by:
Distracted driving—texting, eating, or GPS use
Bus drivers speeding or ignoring traffic signals
Driver fatigue or inadequate rest between shifts
Poor training or failure to follow safety procedures
Defective brakes, steering systems, or tire blowouts
Unsafe stops or negligent boarding and unloading
Collisions caused by other reckless drivers on the road
Our investigations are designed to uncover all contributing factors and identify every responsible party.
The size and weight of a bus amplify the danger in any collision. Even low-speed impacts can cause severe injuries, including:
Head trauma and concussions from sudden stops or rollovers
Neck and back injuries caused by whiplash or jolting
Fractures, sprains, and dislocations
Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
Internal bleeding and organ damage
Lacerations or facial injuries from broken glass or unsecured objects
Psychological trauma, especially in child passengers
We ensure your injuries are fully documented and understood—both by the insurers and, if necessary, the court.
Whether the bus was government-run or privately owned, victims may be entitled to compensation for:
Emergency care, surgery, and hospitalization
Diagnostic imaging and specialist treatment
Rehabilitation and long-term therapy
Lost income and diminished future earnings
Pain and suffering—emotional, physical, and mental
Costs of adaptive equipment or home modifications
Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
We build every claim with the future in mind—because serious injuries don’t come with short recovery timelines.
One of the most complex parts of a bus accident case is determining liability. We investigate thoroughly and may pursue claims against:
The bus driver and their employer (public or private)
A government agency like WMATA or Montgomery County Transit
Private transportation companies or school bus contractors
Third-party maintenance crews or manufacturers of defective parts
Other negligent drivers involved in the collision
Event organizers, tour groups, or shuttle service operators
We leave no stone unturned in identifying all avenues for recovery.
Bus crash claims can involve powerful defendants and frustrating delays. Our team brings:
Experience handling complex transit and common carrier injury claims
Knowledge of state and federal transportation regulations
Familiarity with Kensington-area roadways and transit systems
A client-first approach—you’ll always be informed and supported
