Maison Law can help bus accident victims secure support after a crash involving a FlixBus. If you have suffered an injury while riding on FlixBus or after being struck by a FlixBus driver, contact a California Bus Accident Lawyer for a free consultation.
Determining If You’ll Need to Hire a Lawyer After a FlixBus Accident
The need for a lawyer will usually depend on how badly you are hurt. A serious injury will mean you’ll need much more for medical bills, and that means insurers for FlixBus will fight even harder to avoid accepting fault. Victims can often use a lawyer’s help to get fair treatment and to ensure they receive everything they need to pay for a full recovery.
Bus accident victims can always file their own claims, but with higher value cases, lawyers can provide the necessary evidence to hold a bus line 100% accountable. Among other injuries, a lawyer could help you earn more for a case involving a broken bone, a neck or back injury, a Traumatic Brain Injury, deep cuts, and ligament damage.
You may also want to call Maison Law when you suddenly have FlixBus corporate lawyers calling you. It’s important to have legal protection of your own when lawyers try to blame you for an accident or attempt to downplay how badly you’ve been hurt.

Finding Out What Your Bus Accident Claim Is Worth
You should definitely know what your injury is worth before talking to insurers and attorneys for FlixBus. When you get on the phone with these parties, they can tell you a much different story about what you could earn. They’ll try to discount what happened to you and say that your injuries won’t take as long to heal as your doctors claim.
It’s a vulnerable position that can rob you of support and leave you paying for a portion of your own medical recovery. This is unacceptable to Maison Law.
Our attorneys collect all evidence and have medical charts ready, so FlixBus can’t skip town without paying what’s fair.
Maison Law would demand that these and other damages be covered for you and your family:
- Totals on current medical costs, and estimates on future health care costs
- Surgeon’s fees
- Physical therapy costs
- Travel costs getting to appointments with specialists
- Medical equipment
- Home care expense
- Replacement of all paychecks and benefits lost while the victims are unable to work
- Lifelong support if victims left with disabilities can’t go back to work
- Help with education and training if disabled victims must find a new career
- Help with supporting the victim’s family as they try to keep up with normal monthly bills like rent and car payments
- Compensation for the cost of car repairs or replacement if your vehicle is struck by a bus
- Support for a patient’s physical pain endured

- Support for pain medication and therapies
- Support for arthritis that develops

- Support for Depression
- Support for PTSD symptoms that can develop after being in a bus impact or being in a terrifying bus rollover.
- Support for a loss of enjoyment of life due to injury
Figuring Out Who Is Financially Responsible for a FlixBus Crash
FlixBus has an elevated responsibility for its passengers. The average driver in a car or SUV owes a reasonable amount of care and caution. But bus companies are classified as a “common carrier” by the Federal Government, and it means they are held to a higher standard of caution for the customers they sell tickets to.
FlixBus must do everything possible to keep riders safe, and it’s actually made easier for passengers to hold FlixBus responsible. There’s a lower threshold to show the negligence of the bus line. Unfortunately, FlixBus still has lawyers who can confuse the issue and fight liability.
Your attorney would already have a strong case ready to go
These are just a few of the accident factors that your Maison Law attorney would hold FlixBus responsible for:
- A Bus Driver who makes a careless mistake
- A Bus Driver who becomes reckless
- A Bus Driver who didn’t get proper training
- A Bus Driver hired without a good safety record
- A Bus Driver who wasn’t properly tested for drugs and alcohol
- A Bus Driver who worked too long
- An accident caused by negligent bus maintenance
FlixBus Accident Dangers
Passengers in places like L.A., Fresno, Bakersfield, Visalia, Merced, and Tracy all hop on the green bus to get a discounted ride on a clean, modern bus line. But FlixBus must offer more than just transportation. They must provide as much safety as possible.
When passengers get thrown around the interior of a bus, victims must be cared for and compensated for the best medical care available. When people in cars, trucks, SUVs, and on motorcycles are hurt, they must receive immediate support. When pedestrians and bicyclists are struck by a distracted bus driver, they must get help getting back on their feet and their bikes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do to help my case at the scene of a bus accident?
Get checked out fully by paramedics and go to the ER if they think you should. Get photos and video of the accident scene and any visible injuries. Get contact information from witnesses, including other passengers. Only try to collect evidence if you are strong enough to do so, and the scene is secure.
How long do I have to file a bus accident claim in California?
Two years. California puts the statute of limitations on personal injury claims at two years. But it’s important to take action while the evidence is still fresh and witnesses are still easy to locate. Speak to a lawyer as soon as possible to get a case and an investigation started.
Can my family seek support if a loved one is killed in a FlixBus Bus Accident?
Family members may file a wrongful death claim. This claim can seek money to cover burial costs. A claim can also help in replacing the income that the victim may have always supported the family with. Other damages should also earn the family support for the future. A skilled California wrongful death attorney can also act on behalf of the entire family to make sure they receive justice and financial security.
