Minnesota Tour (Charter) Bus Accident

Pritzker Olsen, P.A., a premier Minnesota personal injury law firm, successfully represented victims of a Minnesota charter bus accident involving personal injury and wrongful death. The bus driver fell asleep at the wheel.

Liability of Tour (Charter) Bus Companies and
Bus Accident Lawsuits

Tour buses should be extremely safe, and it is the responsibility of tour (charter) bus companies to make sure that passengers on their buses arrive safely at their destinations. Buses are common carriers and are obligated under federal law to provide a high level of safety to their passengers.

When bus drivers and/or bus companies negligently cause an accident, the bus company is liable to injured passengers and the families of those killed. This means that the bus company must pay money to compensate them for their losses (medical expenses and lost earnings), pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, disfigurement, loss of quality of life and other damages. Pain and suffering is not recoverable in a Minnesota wrongful death lawsuit, but significant amounts can be recovered for loss of care and comfort and similar damages allowed in the Minnesota wrongful death statutes.

Our attorneys have won money for accident victims who suffered head trauma (TBI), internal bleeding, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and other serious injuries. They have also represented families of people killed by a bus, including a child who was run over by a school bus.
