Fort Worth Bus Accident Kills 1 and Critically Injures Two | Dallas, Texas Personal Injury Attorney Blog

A Fort Worth Bus (The T) crashed Tuesday on the eastbound side of Loop 820 at Mark IV Parkway, about a quarter mile west of Interstate 35W. The wreck involved 4 vehicles, all of which caught fire in the collision, including a MITS bus from the T’s Mobility Impaired Transportation Service and a blue dodge pick-up truck.

Fort Worth Transportation Authority operations manager Tony Johnson said, “It’s our understanding that a vehicle stopped in front of the van. The van may have hit the other vehicles, which probably caused the vehicle to catch fire.”

One person was killed in the collision and two others were critically injured and transported to Parkland Hospital in Dallas. Two people who were non-critically injured were taken to a Fort Worth Hospital. Another person, whose identity has not been released, was treated at the scene and release.

If you have been injured in an automobile accident anywhere in the Dallas Fort-Worth metroplex, you need lawyers on your side who will investigate the issues not only of the wreck. This is particularly the case anytime a government-owned vehicle such as a bus is involved in the collision. In those cases, while you have two years to file a lawsuit, you must provide written notice of your claim much sooner (usually within 6 months of the date of the wreck) to the proper governmental agency. If you fail to provide the proper written notice in a timely manner, then you will lose your right to file a lawsuit later. At Montes Herald Law Group, LLP, our attorneys aggressively investigate cases to preserve evidence of the other party’s responsibility and of your pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, punitive damages and other damages that you are entitled to recover by law.
