Attorneys Advocating for Injured People in Tallahassee
Few, if any, public transit passengers use seat belts. This can increase the possibility of serious injuries, including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries.
In addition to conducting a comprehensive investigation of the accident to determine causation and liability, we will focus much of our work on identifying your medical needs. In conversations with your doctor or other medical providers, we will learn about your medical and rehabilitation needs. We also have a case nurse on staff who will monitor your recovery and the treatment you are receiving in the hospital or outpatient clinics. Our goal will be to help you obtain the financial resources that can pay for needed care, plus compensation for other economic and noneconomic losses.
Because buses operate throughout Leon County on routes that may include Interstate 10, U.S. 27, and busy streets near Florida State University and the Capitol complex, a crash can leave you far from home and unsure where to turn for help. We can coordinate with local hospitals in Tallahassee and surrounding communities, gather records from first responders, and help you understand how Florida law on negligence and insurance will apply to your circumstances so you can make informed choices about your next steps after a serious injury.
If you were hurt on a bus in Tallahassee, here are some of the ways we can support you after an accident:
- Reviewing your insurance and explaining how your own auto policy, the bus company’s coverage, and any uninsured or underinsured motorist benefits may apply to your claim.
- Coordinating your medical care by helping you understand treatment options, documenting your appointments, and making sure injuries are clearly tied to the crash.
- Documenting how your injuries affect your work, daily activities, and family life so we can present a full picture of your losses to the insurance company or a jury.
- Guiding you through each step of the process, from initial claim forms to negotiations or trial, so you always know what to expect and can make informed decisions about your case.
Party Bus And Charter Bus Injury Claims
When an injury occurs on a party bus or charter bus, the situation often feels different from a typical traffic accident because the trip may have been organized for a celebration, game day, or group outing. These vehicles frequently travel between Tallahassee and nearby destinations on Interstate 10, U.S. 319, and other busy corridors, which can expose passengers to risks from distracted drivers, poor vehicle maintenance, or overcrowding. We can evaluate how the crash happened, whether alcohol service, unsafe modifications, or negligent supervision played a role, and what insurance policies may be available to cover your losses.
Claims involving party buses can include injuries from sudden stops, falls inside the vehicle, assaults, or collisions with other cars, and they may involve both the transportation company and third-party venues or organizers. We can review transportation contracts, reservation paperwork, and any waivers you signed, and we can work to preserve evidence such as surveillance footage from bars or event spaces in the Tallahassee area. By identifying all potentially responsible businesses and individuals, we aim to put you in a stronger position to pursue the medical bills, lost income, and other damages that stem from a serious bus-related injury.

From the beginning of initial contact to the end of my settlement, they treated me like family. The defendants wanted to treat me as a nuance, but my Perry & Young Law Firm didn’t treat me as such and made sure I was fairly compensated.
