Frequently Asked Questions

When should I call a lawyer after a party bus crash?

It is generally best to contact a lawyer as soon as you are safe and have received initial medical care. Early involvement allows us to help preserve evidence, communicate with insurers, and explain your options. A free consultation can give you clarity before you make important decisions.

How much will it cost to hire your firm?

We offer free initial consultations and work on a contingency fee basis. That means you do not pay upfront legal fees, and our fee is collected from any recovery we obtain for you. We explain our agreement clearly at the beginning so there are no surprises.

What if several people were hurt on the same party bus?

When multiple passengers are injured, it can affect how insurance coverage is divided and how evidence is collected. Our attorneys work to understand each person’s injuries and the available coverage. We then pursue your individual claim and keep you informed about how group issues may affect your case.

Can you help if alcohol was involved in the accident?

Many party bus events involve alcohol, and that can raise complicated questions about fault and responsibility. We review how alcohol may have played a role, including driver impairment or overservice by a business. Our goal is to protect injured riders from unfair blame and pursue accountability where the law allows.

How long do party bus accident cases usually take?

The length of a case depends on factors such as the severity of injuries, how clearly fault can be shown, and how willing insurers are to negotiate. Some claims resolve within months, while others take longer or go to trial. We discuss likely timelines with you as the case develops.
