Helping Everett Victims Recover After Bus Crashes

Collisions involving buses—whether public transit, school buses, or private charters—can leave victims with severe and life-altering injuries. These cases are legally complex, especially when government agencies are involved. At Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers, our experienced bus accident attorneys in Everett have the knowledge and resources to hold all responsible parties accountable and pursue maximum compensation for your losses.

Common Injuries in Bus Accidents

Bus passengers typically lack seat belts and other basic safety protections, making them especially vulnerable during an accident. Whether the crash involved a city bus on Evergreen Way or a school bus near Silver Lake, the injuries can be catastrophic.

Injuries may include:

  • Broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Head trauma
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Deep lacerations and abrasions
  • Internal injuries and organ damage
  • Disfigurement or permanent disability
  • Muscle and soft tissue damage
  • Fatal injuries

When children are involved, as in school bus accidents, the emotional toll is especially high. Parents deserve answers and accountability when their child is harmed on what should be a safe ride.

Injuries to Occupants of Other Vehicles

Buses weigh significantly more than passenger vehicles, often tipping the scales at over 30,000 pounds. When a bus collides with a car, SUV, or truck, the outcome can be catastrophic. Victims often suffer life-threatening injuries, and the recovery process may take months or years. These cases demand immediate legal attention, especially if a public agency like Everett Transit is involved—since strict deadlines apply.

Determining Liability in a Bus Accident

Bus accident cases in Everett can involve multiple at-fault parties, each with varying degrees of responsibility. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate to determine all sources of liability, which may include:

  • The bus driver: Fatigue, distraction, or intoxication can result in negligent driving.
  • The bus company or operator: Failure to maintain the bus, vet drivers, or enforce safety protocols can make the company liable.
  • Other motorists: A third-party driver may have caused or contributed to the crash.
  • Vehicle or parts manufacturers: Faulty components such as brakes or tires may be to blame.
  • Government entities: If the bus was operated by a city or school district, that agency may be responsible.

Our Everett-based legal team will ensure no liable party is overlooked. We build each case with the intent to take it to trial, which strengthens our negotiation position and maximizes your potential compensation.

Why You Need an Attorney for a Bus Accident Case

Filing a claim against a bus company or public agency isn’t the same as a standard car accident case. You’ll face complex legal processes, shorter filing deadlines, and well-resourced defense teams. Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers provides experienced, aggressive advocacy to level the playing field. We know their tactics—and we’re ready to counter them.

Highly recommend! I was in a car accident in November of 2023 and my insurance didn’t do much to help me so I contacted Park Chenaur Law to see if I can get someone that will help me out.

I was in a car accident and tried to deal with the other insurance company on my own. The person I was dealing with was very aggressive and not easy to work with.

In the summer of 2022, I found myself in a stressful situation after a car accident.  Despite it not being my fault, dealing with insurance was intimidating.  A friend recommended Parks Chenaur & Associates LLP, and it turned out to be a lifesaver.  They not only guided me through the insurance process but ...
