Let Our Bus Injury Lawyers in Columbus Pursue the Money You Need
A fair settlement or jury award can make a big difference in your quality of life. With the money our Columbus bus accident lawyers win for you, you can:
- Pay for all medical expenses you have already incurred
- Cover any future medical treatments your doctor says you will need
- Pay to get your car towed, repaired, and/or replaced as necessary
- Ensure your family does not suffer if you lose income, benefits, employability, or earning capacity due to your injuries
- Force the liable party to acknowledge the distress they caused and reimburse you for your pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, and disabling or disfiguring injuries
Some accident victims may wonder if it is truly worth going to the trouble of pursuing this money when it will not undo the pain they have suffered or get them their old life back. The truth is, there are multiple benefits to seeking compensation, including ensuring your family’s financial stability and holding the liable party responsible for their actions.
If you have any questions, we are happy to answer them. Call Bader Law today. Our legal team knows what an important decision this is, and we will talk with you for as long as you need to understand your rights and make the decision that is best for you.

Choosing the Right Columbus Bus Accident Lawyer Can Make Your Life Easier
It might be tempting to “go it alone” and file a claim against the liable party by yourself rather than take the extra step of hiring legal representation. This often results in unnecessary stress and frustration: the legal process can take a long time, and there are many rules, deadlines, and procedures that can be confusing for a layperson.
Instead of risking your case, let our Columbus lawyers take care of everything, including:
- Gathering and analyzing evidence from as many different sources as possible
- Identifying all at-fault parties
- Determining what kinds of compensation you should ask for
- Managing all communications and basic legal tasks
- Negotiating a settlement from the liable party’s insurer, if possible
- Taking your case to trial in the appropriate court, if necessary
When you have been in a motor vehicle accident, the only thing you should be worried about is taking care of your health. Leave the legal work to our personal injury attorneys.

What Happens When a Bus Gets in an Accident?
Immediately after the accident, several people may call 911 to alert the Columbus Police Department and emergency medical services about the situation. After you make this call, you can spend the time waiting for help to arrive by photographing the scene and asking witnesses for their contact information so we can interview them later.
If you were a passenger, make sure to get insurance information from all involved drivers. If you were a driver, ask for the other driver’s information.
Once the authorities arrive, you will have the option of receiving emergency treatment. You can decide if you want to do so or wait and see your own doctor, but either way, prompt medical care is essential. Any delay could harm both you and your case.
Multiple parties might ask you about what happened and what you remember. How you respond depends on who is asking:
- In interviews with the police, provide short, direct, and honest answers. Do not hide anything, but do not volunteer extra information either.
- When approached by the insurance company, do not say or agree to anything. Just tell them you are going to hire a lawyer and that your representative will be in touch shortly.
- If anyone you know, either in real life or on social media, asks questions, tell them that you cannot discuss an ongoing legal case.
Insurers Respond Quickly to Bus Crashes
Even before you finish receiving medical care, the insurance company might offer you a settlement or ask for a recorded statement. They are not doing this to help you: they are trying to see if they can get away with offering less than you deserve or getting you to compromise your case.
Seth Bader used to work for the insurance companies, which gives us unique insight into their thought processes and tactics. We can deal with the insurance adjuster so you do not have to worry about their ulterior motives.
How Common Are Bus Accidents in Georgia?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that there were nearly 600 bus accidents in Georgia in 2023. These crashes resulted in 431 injuries.
