Our extensive experience in the industry allows us to offer a range of specialized services that increase your chances of success. Here’s how we break down our services to ensure we cover all the angles:
Accident Reconstruction and Evidence Gathering
We start by fully understanding the mechanics of your accident. This involves detailed accident reconstruction using expert testimony and evidence to build a strong case.
We work with the accident reconstruction team to rebuild the exact sequence of events.
Surveillance footage and dash cam data are analyzed to identify the critical moments of the accident.
Police reports, witness statements, and vehicle data are all gathered to support your claim.
Thorough Vehicle Inspection & Safety Audit
We don’t just take what the bus company says at face value. We conducted a deep dive into the vehicle’s maintenance and safety history to uncover potential issues that could have caused or contributed to the crash.
We request and review all maintenance records to ensure the bus is fit for travel.
Any signs of mechanical failure, defective parts, or ignored safety warnings are brought to light.
Inspection of the bus’s safety equipment, such as seatbelts and emergency exits, is done to verify if they meet industry standards.
In-Depth Liability Investigation
Determining liability in bus accidents can be complex, which is why we use a multi-pronged approach to identify all responsible parties. This includes not just the bus driver but also the company, third parties, and even government entities, if applicable.
We thoroughly investigate the actions of the bus driver, checking for violations or distractions at the time of the incident.
We examine whether the bus company has any history of negligence regarding driver training or maintenance practices.
We investigate other possible parties, like third-party motorists or even bus manufacturers, who may have contributed to the accident.
Skilled Insurance Negotiations
Insurance companies will try to minimize their payouts—our job is to ensure they pay what they owe. We use our negotiation skills to secure a fair settlement, backed by strong evidence and industry knowledge.
We push back against unfair lowball offers and insist on appropriate compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.
We work closely with medical and financial experts to determine the full scope of your damages.
If the insurance company refuses to negotiate fairly, we’re ready to escalate matters and fight for your best interests in court.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In South Carolina, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a bus accident claim. However, this can vary depending on the specifics of your case, such as whether government entities are involved.
Yes, it’s possible, but government agencies have special rules for liability claims. We’ll guide you through the process, ensuring that you meet all the necessary requirements.
You can claim economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress). In some cases, punitive damages may also apply if gross negligence is involved.
South Carolina follows comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still claim damages even if you are partially at fault, but your compensation may be reduced according to the percentage of your fault.
Most cases settle before going to trial, but if necessary, we are fully prepared to take your case to court to fight for the compensation you deserve.
