Wyoming’s wide-open highways connect communities across long distances. Buses, whether carrying school groups, workers, or passengers, are a common sight on these routes. When a crash happens, the consequences can be serious, especially given the size and weight of these vehicles and the remote nature of many areas.
At Vickery & Shepherd, we represent individuals and families across Wyoming who have been injured in transportation-related accidents, including bus crashes. These cases often involve complex questions of responsibility, multiple parties, and both state and federal court systems.
Recent Bus Crash Cases in Wyoming
Our firm recently resolved two separate bus crash cases involving different parts of the state:
- Between Rawlins and Rock Springs: A school bus transporting children to an event was struck by an 18-wheeler.
- In Lingle, Goshen County: Two oil field workers were injured when their bus tipped over while navigating a turn as they were returning from the oil patch.
These matters were filed in both Wyoming’s federal court in Cheyenne and Wyoming state court in Goshen County. In both cases, the claims were resolved before trial.
Why Bus Crash Cases Are Different
Bus accident claims often involve more than just two drivers. Depending on the circumstances, responsible parties may include:
- Commercial trucking companies
- Bus operators or employers
- Maintenance providers
- Government or public entities
Understanding where and how a case should be filed can significantly impact how it moves forward.
