Baum Hedlund obtained a school bus and reinacted the post-crash fire
in one of our nation's worst bus accidents, to prove to a jury that the

above was used in a crash test video conducted by the defendants.

Tour Bus Accidents / Chartered Bus Accidents

A tour bus filled with nearly 50 people traveled along U.S. Route 65 in Arkansas. An oncoming tractor-trailer, traveling too fast for the wet weather conditions, hydroplaned, crossed the center line and crashed into the tour bus—killing the driver and hospitalizing ten passengers.

Sadly, the crash could have been prevented, had the driver of the semi truck acknowledged the warning signs of dangerous sections on the hilly highway and reduced his speed to accommodate for the poor weather conditions. Baum Hedlund represented victims of the crash and their families in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits following the deadly collision.

School Bus Accidents
Many of the bus accident lawsuits our firm handles involve the tragic death of innocent children in school bus accidents. We have witnessed the turmoil parents endure following the wrongful death of a child, and have done all we could to help them obtain peace of mind by pursuing accountability.

A Kentucky school bus charted by a church was carrying nearly 70 people home from a theme park when a drunk driver in a pickup truck crashed into the front of the bus. Upon impact, defective parts in the bus' suspension caused a puncture in the fuel tank, causing the front of the bus to be engulfed in flames. Many of the survivors suffered severe burn injuries. The crash and resulting bus fire cost the lives of 27 people, mostly children.

While many families settled lawsuits with Ford Motor Co. following this bus accident, our firm represented a family who refused to settle until bus manufacturing methods were changed. After meticulous investigation and case preparation, and following a six-week trial, a substantial judgment was obtained—affirming that the design defects in the fuel tank system were partly to blame for the mass devastation that followed the accident.

International Bus Accidents
In addition to advocating for bus accident victims across the nation, our firm has handled personal injury and wrongful death litigation arising from crashes in other countries. Our international cases include a tour bus crash that occurred in Mexico and a tour motorcoach crash that occurred in England. In both cases, our attorneys fiercely fought to have the cases litigated in the United States—and succeeded. As a result, the cases were resolved under U.S. jurisdiction.
