Tampa Bus Accident Lawyer

How a Tampa Bus Accident Lawyer Can Help

Crashes involving city buses, school buses, and charter coaches raise complex questions of liability. We pursue every responsible party.

Bus crashes — city transit, school buses, and charter coaches — often involve a government entity or a commercial carrier, each with its own insurance, regulations, and, in the case of public agencies, special notice deadlines that can be far shorter than an ordinary injury claim.

We move quickly to identify whether a public body, a private bus company, the driver, or another motorist is responsible, preserve onboard camera footage and maintenance records, and meet every procedural deadline so your claim is not lost on a technicality.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

• ✓Past and future medical expenses
• ✓Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• ✓Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• ✓Property damage and out-of-pocket costs

Bus Accidents FAQs

How much does a Tampa bus accident lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. Mark H. Wright handles bus accidents cases on a contingency fee — you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you, and your initial consultation is always free.

How long do I have to file a bus accidents claim in Florida?

Florida generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (shortened from four years by a 2023 reform). Some claims have shorter deadlines, so it is important to speak with an attorney quickly.

What is my bus accidents case worth?

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your past and future medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your life. We evaluate all of these to pursue the full compensation you are owed.

Do I have to go to court for a bus accidents case?

Most cases settle without a trial. But Mark prepares every case as if it will be tried, which is often what convinces an insurer to make a fair offer.
