Your Advocates: Proven Results and Fearless Representation
Bus accident cases in Dallas often involve powerful entities—DART, Dallas ISD, large charter companies—that have experienced legal teams working to minimize your compensation. Many personal injury firms prioritize quick settlements to manage high caseloads. We take a different approach.
When you work with our Dallas bus accident lawyer team, you get:
Trial-Ready Advocacy
We prepare every case for court, which means opposing parties know we won't accept lowball offers. Our track record includes the 2024 Top 100 Verdicts in Texas and recognition in Super Lawyers, Dallas Morning News, and USA Today.
Deep Local Experience
We regularly appear before Dallas County judges and understand the unique challenges of cases involving government entities. Ori Raphael's background in the public sector and Damon Mathias's strategic litigation experience across state and federal courts give us an edge when navigating bureaucratic complexity and governmental immunity defenses.
Comprehensive Case Management
Our team includes paralegals with over 40 years of combined experience who meticulously manage every phase of your case—from investigation and evidence collection to negotiation and trial preparation. You'll have access to our secure Filevine client portal for real-time updates and direct communication with your legal team.
Contingency Fee Basis
You pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we secure compensation for you—aligning our success directly with yours.
Bus crashes differ from typical car accidents in critical ways. Whether you were injured as a passenger on DART, a pedestrian struck by a school bus, or a driver hit by a charter bus, your case likely involves:
- Multiple potential defendants (driver, operating company, maintenance contractors, government agencies)
- Complex liability rules under Texas transportation law
- Strict filing deadlines, especially for claims against public entities under the Texas Tort Claims Act
- Resistance from well-funded legal teams focused on limiting payouts
Missing a deadline or filing incomplete paperwork can jeopardize your entire claim. Our Dallas bus accident attorneys understand these complexities and act quickly to protect your rights while you focus on recovery.
Common Types of Bus Accidents We Handle:
- DART and public transit collisions
- School bus accidents involving Dallas ISD and other districts
- Charter and tour bus crashes
- Commercial and private carrier incidents
- Pedestrian accidents involving buses
- Catastrophic injuries from bus rollovers or multi-vehicle crashes
Our Process: Working with a Bus Accident Lawyer in Dallas
1. Free Consultation
Share your story with us. We'll explain your legal options, answer your urgent questions, and outline the specific deadlines that apply to your case—with no obligation and no upfront cost.
2. Thorough Investigation
We gather accident reports, medical records, witness statements, and any available video footage. Our team examines maintenance logs, driver records, and company safety practices to build the strongest possible case.
3. Strategic Case Development
We calculate the full extent of your damages—medical bills, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering—and develop a legal strategy tailored to your specific situation. Whether that means negotiating aggressively or preparing for trial, we're ready.
4. Aggressive Advocacy
We handle all communication with insurance companies and opposing counsel. When transit agencies or their insurers push back with inadequate offers, we push harder—through skilled negotiation or courtroom litigation.
5. Maximum Recovery
Our goal is always full compensation that reflects the true impact of your injuries. We don't settle for convenience; we settle when it's right for you.
Throughout this process, you'll receive regular updates through our secure client portal and have direct access to your attorney for questions and guidance.
