We Make A Difference

We provide our clients with the highest quality legal representation for their injury or loss of a loved one

We Have Recovered Tens Of Millions Of Dollars For Victims

Often, bus companies and public transit agencies hide or withhold evidence that can be used against them. With our many years of experience in prosecuting bus accident cases, we know what to look for and how to find the evidence necessary to win.

History Of Results For Spanish-Speaking Clients

In the Espinoza v. Squaw Creek Transportation, Inc. bus accident case, dozens of Spanish-speaking employees were being transported from Reno to work in Truckee when the bus operator fell asleep and lost control of the bus. Two passengers were killed and many were severely injured. Our firm’s Spanish-speaking staff worked closely with the injury victims to ensure all their questions were answered. Our lawyers discovered that the bus driver did not have enough rest prior to beginning his shift and that the bus had not been properly maintained. As a result of our aggressive tactics, we were able to settle the case for a substantial amount prior to trial.

Here are some additional examples of bus accident cases we have handled over the years:

Casino Charter Bus Crash: $17 Million

Mr. Babich was one of the lead trial lawyers for 27 clients who were injured or lost loved ones in the 2008 Colusa Casino bus crash. His efforts resulted in a global settlement in excess of $17 million.

Collision With Bus Hidden In Smoke: $10.26 Million

A 19-year-old girl suffered a spinal cord injury when the car she was riding in rear-ended a bus that was obscured by diesel smoke. We obtained a record-breaking verdict of more than $10.26 million.
