Were You Injured in a Bus Accident?

At Cantor and Burger we routinely represent victims of bus accidents. The driver of the bus owes you, the passenger, the highest degree of care.  In other words, the law requires they use extreme care to protect you, the passenger, from harm or injury.  If the driver of your bus, or your child’s school bus, has failed in that duty, call for free at 314 542-9999.

If injured by a bus drivers negligence, you have a legal claim action against the driver and his insurance company to recover all the damages you sustained.  Your damages include medical expenses, wage loss damages, pain and suffering,  disability and disfigurement damages.  If the other driver does not have enough insurance, you may have an uninsured or under insured motorist claim.  How much money you’ll get depends on the facts of the accident, how bad your injuries are, and the amount of insurance coverage.  Call us at any stage of your claim - whether the accident was recent, old, or even if you tried to handle it yourself but have been unable to or the insurance company won’t be fair to you.  Once hired to pursue your claim, we aggressively investigate the facts, take statements/pictures, or hire experts if needed.  We do try to resolve/settle these claims quickly, but also file suit and try these cases before a jury.  We are experts at handling bus accident cases because we have been handling them for so long (although there is no certification in Missouri or Illinois for labeling us as experts, we do have expertise in handling these cases) and have the experience, knowledge, and financial resources to win your bus injury case.
