Bus Accidents
Protecting the Rights of Bus Accident Victims
Buses are a vital part of transportation throughout Chicago and its suburbs. Every day, thousands of residents rely on CTA buses, Pace buses, and private carriers to reach their destinations safely. When you board a bus, you trust that the vehicle is well-maintained and that the driver is alert, trained, and follows all safety laws. Unfortunately, when that trust is broken, the results can be devastating.
If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one in a bus crash, you need an experienced Chicago bus accident attorney who knows how to hold negligent drivers and bus companies accountable. At Rundio Injury Law, we have successfully represented passengers, motorists, and pedestrians in bus accident cases throughout Illinois.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Bus Accident?
Bus accident cases can be complicated because multiple parties often share the responsibility. Depending on the circumstances, a bus accident lawyer from Rundio Injury Law may pursue claims against:
- The bus driver, for negligent or reckless driving
- The bus company or public transit agency, such as the CTA or Pace, for inadequate maintenance of the bus or training of the bus driver
- Maintenance contractors responsible for faulty repairs
- Other negligent drivers who contributed to the crash
Rundio Injury Law has experience handling cases involving both public and private transit systems, including CTA and Pace bus accidents. We know how to identify liability, preserve key evidence, and build a strong case for full financial recovery.
What Are Common Causes of Bus Accidents?
Today, people are more distracted than ever, with phones, touch screens and changing traffic patterns. Bus accidents can occur for many reasons, including:
- Fatigued driving
- Speeding or reckless operation
- Mechanical failures or worn-out parts
- Poor driver training or supervision
- Unsafe road conditions
When a bus driver or transit agency fails to follow safety regulations, passengers and other road users pay the price. If you or a loved one think they have a case for a bus accident involving one of these causes, Rundio Injury Law can help. Our Chicago bus accident lawyers investigate every detail, from driver logs to maintenance records, to uncover the truth.
What to Do After a Bus Accident?
It can be very difficult to think straight after a bus accident. We get that. The one thing you need to remember is this: safety comes first. If necessary, call 911.
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. This is important, because it might help your case.
- Document the scene, including photos and videos, bus numbers, and witness information.
- Do not discuss the accident with insurance or transit representatives before consulting an attorney.
- Contact Rundio Injury Law to ensure that evidence is preserved and your rights are protected.
