Bus Accidents In Arizona
As one of the safer methods of travel on the road, most people do not bat an eye at the fact that buses do not have seatbelts or airbags. However, like any other type of vehicle, buses do occasionally get into collisions, which can lead to serious injuries for the passengers, the driver, and the other vehicles involved in the accident. Bus accidents can be very complicated due to many factors and in the aftermath, it can be hard to know what to do. That is why it is important to have access to a qualified attorney who can walk you through the complex insurance process after a bus accident. If you have been involved in a bus accident in Arizona, feel free to reach out to Lebaron & Jensen for excellent personal injury legal services.
Causes Of Bus Accidents
There are many potential causes of bus accidents, meaning that there can also be many different people that can be held liable after a bus accident. The most common causes of bus accidents include:
- Distracted or unsafe driving on the part of the bus driver.
- Distracted driving on the part of another vehicle.
- Hazardous road conditions.
- Poorly maintained parts on the bus.
- Manufacturing issues.
If a bus accident is caused due to a bus driver’s negligence, any passengers of the bus or of another involved vehicle that have been injured could file a claim against the busing company. However, if the bus was a city or school bus, then injured individuals may be able to receive compensation from the state government.
What To Do If You Have Been Injured In A Bus Accident
The first step to take after a bus accident is to call the police. Because there are usually many people involved in bus accidents, there will likely be someone there who will call the police, but you can never be too careful. The next and most important step is to get medical attention as soon as possible. Many people avoid seeing a doctor after being in an accident, claiming that it’s not that bad or that they don’t have any visible injuries, so it’s not worth it. However, it is always important to see a doctor, as they can ensure that you don’t have any lasting issues.
While you are still at the scene of the accident, it is a good idea to gather as much evidence as you can. Take pictures of the accident and any injuries that you have. Take to bystanders and other passengers and record their responses. Also make sure to get the information of the bus driver including their name, phone number, and any bus information.
Once you have spoken with the police or gathered enough information, you should get in touch with a professional bus accident attorney. Your attorney can help you negotiate with insurance companies and file a claim if you need to. We at Lebaron & Jensen can help provide you with expert legal representation for your Arizona bus accident.

Personality is as important as the attorney's skill set and experience. Chase Adams will take his time to make sure your expectations are in line with your needs. A settlement is always better than negotiating or fighting with difficult to read Pleadings. What is Chase's strategy? To get great results and stay out of court.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
