Buses are a vital part of life in Northern Virginia—from WMATA and Fairfax Connector routes to school buses and private shuttles. But when a bus crash occurs, the consequences can be severe. These vehicles carry dozens of passengers at a time and often lack standard safety features like seat belts. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus-related accident in Lake Barcroft, Malloy Law Offices is here to help. Our bus crash lawyers are experienced in holding transit agencies and private companies accountable when their negligence causes harm. Contact a Lake Barcroft Bus Crash Lawyer today to get started.
Unlike routine car crashes, bus accidents often involve large corporate defendants or government agencies, each with its own insurance, policies, and legal procedures. Our Lake Barcroft bus crash attorneys know how to navigate:
Public transit crashes involving Fairfax Connector, WMATA, or DASH
Private charter or tour bus accidents
School bus collisions involving students or bystanders
Pedestrians or cyclists hit by buses at intersections or stops
Multi-vehicle collisions where fault is disputed
Maintenance failures or mechanical issues that lead to crashes
We investigate every angle—from driver conduct to vehicle safety records—to determine the root cause and who’s legally responsible.
Bus accident claims often involve more than just the bus driver. Responsible parties may include:
The public transit authority or school district that employed the driver
Private bus companies that failed to train or supervise their employees
Bus manufacturers or maintenance contractors, if mechanical failure contributed
Another negligent driver, in multi-vehicle collisions
Local governments, if poor road design or signage played a role
Because these cases may involve government entities, there are strict notice deadlines and filing requirements. We ensure your claim is filed correctly and on time.
Because buses lack many of the protections found in passenger cars, even minor crashes can cause serious injuries. Our firm regularly represents victims suffering from:
Head trauma and concussions
Neck and spinal cord injuries
Broken bones and orthopedic injuries
Lacerations from broken glass or impact surfaces
Internal injuries from being thrown or crushed
Psychological trauma, especially in children
These injuries may require emergency care, long-term rehab, and mental health support. We ensure every aspect of your injury is factored into your claim.
If your injuries were caused by negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical bills, surgeries, and ongoing treatment
Lost income and reduced future earning potential
Pain and suffering—physical and emotional
Disability-related expenses, including assistive devices or home modifications
Mental health counseling for trauma or anxiety
Wrongful death damages for families who’ve lost a loved one
Insurance companies for public or private bus operators often fight hard to limit payouts. We push back with strong evidence and strategic legal action.
