Bus Accident Attorneys
While buses are generally considered a safe and steadfast method of transportation for commuters, students, and travelers alike, any vehicle on the road can be involved in an accident, and buses are no exception. Many buses do not have seatbelts or airbags, so when bus accidents do occur, the resulting injuries and consequences can be severe. People can be thrown around without safety restraints, there are more parties involved, and bus companies start gathering their defenses as soon as the bus accident occurs, making dealing with a bus accident claim complex.
The lawyers at LeBaron & Jensen are experienced in handling accident claims. We offer free, no-obligation case consultations to go over your case and the options available to you with you. Our attorneys use every necessary legal resource and fight hard to obtain the compensation you deserve for you so that you can focus your energy on recovery.
Tips For A Successful Bus Accident Claim
Chances are, you’ve never been in a bus accident before. Bus accidents can be caused by a number of factors, from distracted driving on the part of the bus driver, distracted driving on the part of another driver on the road, hazardous conditions, faulty or poorly maintained parts on the bus, and more. If the bus accident was caused by the bus driver’s negligence, you can seek compensation from the bus company. If the bus was a school or city bus, you can bring a claim against the government. If the bus accident was caused by another driver, you will likely need to go through their insurance for compensation.
While typically, it is the bus company that is held liable for a bus accident, the legal team at LeBaron & Jensen can investigate the accident and evidence to determine liability and your options for compensation. There are several things that you can do to help with your bus accident claim.
Seek Medical Attention As Soon As Possible
Many people make the mistake of not seeking treatment after an accident. The sooner you receive treatment, the sooner any injuries can be diagnosed and treated. This is helpful not just for your overall health and wellness, but also for your claim. The sooner the full extent of your injuries is known and they have been treated, the sooner your claim can be settled and closed.
Gather Evidence
If you can, collecting evidence in the form of pictures of the scene of the accident, any injuries you have sustained, and the contact information of the bus driver and witnesses will help your case. The more evidence you have, the better.
Don’t Make Statements To Insurance Companies
Unfortunately, insurance companies are looking out for their best interests – not yours. They will always try to save themselves money and offer you a settlement far below what you actually deserve. If you make a statement, they can try to use that against you to either discount or deny your claim.
Contact An Attorney
With how many parties are involved in bus accident cases, they can be hard to navigate without expert legal representation. Contacting an attorney will ensure that you are giving yourself the best chance possible to reach a fair settlement to recover your damages resulting from the bus accident.

The attorney's at LeBaron & Jensen share a will to win, but not at your expense. They're caring, transparent and competent attorney's with a strong work ethic. I've enjoyed working with Chase Adams who helped settle a dispute. He proved to be resourceful, diligent, thoughtful and responsive. 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. But if your case warrants court, Chase Adams is comfortable in front of a judge and at the settlement table. You'll enjoy the effort that the attorney's with LeBaron & Jensen will make to minimize your expense and maximize value.

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
