Reno Bus Accident Lawyers

Most buses that drive around Reno are employed by citywide transportation companies. Each of these companies is legally required to carry large insurance policies to cover any injuries that occur while on their buses, and property damage that passengers or other drivers experience in the event of a collision or accident. These companies also require general liability, collision coverage, underinsured coverage, and uninsured coverage in order to be able to transport passengers around the city.

The primary responsibility of the airport shuttle buses is to carry passengers back and forth between their hotels and their flights. They carry a strong presence in the city of Reno, and carry a strong potential for being involved in some sort of vehicle collision given that they run all day every day. If an airport shuttle bus is involved in a pedestrian collision, vehicle accident, multi car pileup, sideswipe, or rollover, their insurance company must foot the bill for the damages and injuries experienced by their passengers.

The city of Reno sees countless tour buses daily as they shuttle passengers and tourists throughout the city, particularly the most popular and well-known parts. Drivers may be distracted by the tour they are giving, by noisy passengers, traffic lights and signs, pedestrians, parked cars, and the surrounding traffic, which can easily cause a collision. Tour bus companies carry hefty insurance policies that are well equipped to pay a settlement to any passengers injured by a distracted driver or accident.

School bus accidents are commonly involved in rear endings because of their many, sudden stops to let students on and off. If surrounding drivers are distracted or in a hurry, they may not see the flashing lights or realize the bus is stopping again until it is too late. While school buses are quite large and will likely only experience minimal damage from a rear-ending, the responsible driver could be severely injured or their vehicle could be totaled. If the children on the bus are injured during an accident, the bus company is responsible for their medical bills.
