Phoenix Bus Accident Lawyers

Dedicated Arizona Personal Injury Attorneys

Bus accidents, although not common in Arizona, can easily be catastrophic. Buses carry passengers, often without seatbelts or proper restraints to protect them in the case of an accident. Approximately 360 million Americans use buses as transportation, and approximately 23.5 million elementary and secondary school children are transported by school buses. About 12,000 children in the United States are injured each year in school bus accidents.

Because buses are intended for passenger transportation, the rules and regulations regarding a bus company’s liability for passenger injury and death in accidents is higher than their liability to other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. To take advantage of this liability, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer who can effectively represent you in your Arizona bus accident case.

The experienced personal injury attorneys at Beauchamp are dedicated to helping Arizona residents in Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun, including Ahwatukee, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale, and Peoria. If you have been involved in a public transportation accident as a passenger or another driver, or if your child has been injured in a school bus accident, our personal injury attorneys can give you a free consultation to review your case and see if we can help.
