Fighting for Bus Accident Victims Statewide

Bus accidents are never simple. They involve multiple passengers, corporate operators, and insurance companies that move fast to protect themselves. When victims are left injured or grieving, they deserve an advocate who moves faster.

At Kwartler Manus, our bus accident lawyers in New Jersey represent victims across the entire state: from the Turnpike to the Shore, from Newark to Cherry Hill. We act immediately to investigate the crash, identify negligence, and hold every responsible party accountable.

Bus Accidents Under New Jersey Law

In New Jersey, bus accident claims fall into two main categories: public transit cases involving NJ Transit or municipal systems, and private or commercial operator cases involving school buses, charters, or companies like Greyhound. Each carries unique deadlines, insurance requirements, and procedural rules.

Our attorneys understand how to navigate both, filing notices of claim when government entities are involved and preparing complex commercial liability cases when private carriers are at fault. We don’t just react to these systems; we use them to our client’s advantage.

What Causes Bus Accidents in New Jersey

Every crash tells a story of preventable failure. Through aggressive investigation, we uncover the truth behind incidents caused by driver error, mechanical neglect, or operational shortcuts.

Some of the most frequent causes include driver fatigue, unsafe lane changes, inadequate maintenance, or distracted operation on major routes like I-295 and the Garden State Parkway.

Poor training and mechanical oversight also play a major role. In every case, we trace accountability back to its source: the driver, the company, or the public agency responsible for keeping passengers safe.

The Impact of a Bus Crash

When a bus collides or overturns, passengers are exposed to extreme risk. With no restraints, minimal padding, and heavy interior structures, even a low-speed impact can cause catastrophic harm.

Victims often face traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, or severe internal trauma. Many are left with lasting pain, mobility loss, or emotional distress long after the collision. We work with medical specialists and financial experts to calculate not just today’s costs but the long-term impact on your life and livelihood.

Determining Liability and Proving Negligence

Liability in a bus accident can extend far beyond the person behind the wheel. Depending on the circumstances, responsibility may involve multiple layers: from maintenance contractors and parts manufacturers to municipalities or third-party drivers.

Our team performs a full liability analysis, reviewing maintenance records, black-box data, driver logs, and eyewitness accounts. Each case is built for trial from day one, ensuring we’re ready to fight if settlement isn’t fair.

What Compensation Can Cover

A successful claim can help replace what’s been lost: physically, emotionally, and financially. Victims may recover compensation for:

Medical bills and long-term rehabilitation
Lost wages and reduced earning potential
Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
Disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

We don’t push early settlements. We push for maximum recovery.
