Who Is Liable for Your Las Vegas Bus Accident?
Las Vegas, NV, is a popular and busy tourist city with several bus lines traversing the city for the benefit of visitors and locals alike. Every day, the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) operates the Deuce Bus up and down the Strip and partially through downtown and Fremont Street. RTC also runs buses throughout Clark County.
Additionally, the Downtown Loop serves Las Vegas as well as countless mini-buses, charter buses, and airport and hotel shuttles. Accidents are bound to happen with so many buses sharing the road with cars, trucks, motorcycles, and pedestrians. When collisions occur, you may wonder who is responsible for your damages. If your accident was not your fault, potentially liable parties may include:
- The bus driver. Driver negligence, such as speeding, drinking and driving, or failing to obey traffic laws, often causes vehicle accidents. If a bus driver caused your crash, you may be able to hold them personally accountable. However, in many cases, the driver’s employer bears liability for their actions under a legal principle known as vicarious liability.
- A government entity. If your accident involved a public vehicle (which includes RTC buses and shuttles), our lawyer can help you with a case against the government entity that owns/operates it.
- A private company. We can assist with cases against private transportation companies and other businesses offering bus and shuttle transportation in and around Las Vegas, including hotels, casinos, nightclubs, and charter services.
- A third-party motorist. Sometimes, bus accidents can involve multiple drivers. For example, a third-party motorist may be responsible for your collision if their negligent or reckless driving caused the bus to make a defensive driving maneuver that resulted in your accident.
- A manufacturer. Our attorneys can help you with a product liability case against a manufacturer if your accident involved a vehicle defect, such as a blown tire, faulty brakes, engine trouble, or malfunctioning safety equipment.
Whatever the circumstance of your bus accident, our personal injury team is here to help. We handle cases involving:
- Head-on collisions
- Rollover accidents
- Single- and multi-vehicle collisions
- Rear-end accidents
- T-bone (side impact) crashes
- Bicyclists and pedestrians

Bus Accident Compensation
Our Las Vegas bus accident lawyer can pursue your damages so that another party’s negligent, wrongful, or reckless actions does not jeopardize your family’s financial stability. In general, personal injury compensation for a bus collision may include the following:
- Medical treatment. Medical expenses can quickly add up, especially if you have a severe injury or need ongoing care. Our lawyer can pursue compensation for your current and future treatment, including emergency transportation and services, hospitalizations, medical procedures, mobility aids, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and long-term nursing.
- Lost income. We can seek awards for wages, benefits, and earnings lost because of your injury and recovery. If you suffered a permanent or disabling injury that prevents you from returning to work or performing your previous job, we can pursue damages for the loss of your future earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering. You deserve compensation for quality of life reductions caused by your bus accident. We can seek financial awards for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, inconvenience, severe and chronic pain, loss of mobility, loss of cognitive functioning, scarring, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment.
- Wrongful death. If your loved one suffered a fatal injury, we can help recover compensation on behalf of their estate or qualifying survivors. Awards may include the deceased’s medical damages, lost income and benefits (including income they would have earned had they lived), funeral and burial expenses, and conscious pain and suffering. Survivors may also seek awards for their sorrow, grief, and loss of their loved one’s affection, companionship, care, and comfort.
How Long do You Have to Pursue Your Case?
You should get started on your bus accident case as soon as possible. Acting quickly gives our firm time to work through your insurance claim and take legal action (if necessary) before the statute of limitations expires.
In Nevada, you have two years from your accident or your loved one’s death to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit under NRS § 11.190(4)(e). We can help you protect your right to compensation by pursuing your case within the allotted window.
