Buses are a key part of Montgomery County’s transportation system, serving students, commuters, tourists, and everyday residents. But when something goes wrong—whether it’s a collision with another vehicle, a sudden stop that throws passengers from their seats, or a pedestrian being struck while crossing—the consequences can be devastating. At Malloy Law Offices, our Cabin John bus accident lawyer helps injured victims hold the responsible parties accountable. These cases often involve powerful transit authorities, bus companies, or government entities. We’re not intimidated—and we’re ready to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Bus crashes and transit-related injuries can occur in a variety of ways. We’ve seen clients hurt by:
Distracted or fatigued bus drivers
Sudden braking that causes falls or head injuries
Failure to yield to pedestrians or cyclists
Negligent third-party drivers causing multi-vehicle collisions
Poor maintenance or mechanical failure
Inadequate safety protocols at bus stops or on school routes
Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver, you have rights—and we’re here to protect them.
Determining fault in a bus accident can be complex. In some cases, liability may rest with:
The driver of the bus
The bus company or operator
A third-party driver who caused the crash
The local government or school district (if the bus was publicly operated)
The manufacturer of a defective vehicle part or tire
We conduct thorough investigations and work with transportation experts to get to the truth—no matter how many parties are involved.
Because of their size and limited safety restraints, buses can cause serious harm even at lower speeds. Our firm has handled cases involving:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
Spinal cord trauma and herniated discs
Broken bones or crush injuries
Facial injuries and dental damage
Lacerations and internal bleeding
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or anxiety
Some clients are hurt in the crash itself. Others are injured while boarding, exiting, or standing during transit. We make sure every injury is documented and every cost is considered.
If you’ve been hurt in a bus accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Emergency medical treatment and follow-up care
Surgeries, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
Lost income and reduced future earning potential
Pain and suffering
Property damage (if applicable)
Psychological counseling and trauma support
Wrongful death damages if a loved one was killed
These claims are often undervalued by insurance companies or government entities. We don’t let that slide. We build strong, evidence-based cases to secure full compensation.
Bringing a claim against a public transit agency or government-run school system introduces additional legal hurdles. These cases often have:
Shorter deadlines for filing a notice of claim
Damage caps or procedural limitations
Bureaucratic delays and red tape
Our firm has experience handling cases against WMATA, Montgomery County Public Schools, and other public transit entities. We know how to navigate the process—and how to push back when it’s being used to stall or deny rightful claims.
At Malloy Law Offices, we take pride in standing up for those hurt through no fault of their own—especially when they’re up against powerful institutions. When you work with us, you can expect:
