The Roads in Bloomington That Are Most Deadly for Bus Accidents
Bloomington, with a population of 23,000+, sits along some of the busiest corridors in San Bernardino. The I-10, SR-60 and Cedar Ave carry enormous volumes of traffic daily, including significant commercial and heavy vehicle traffic that creates constant danger for passenger vehicles.
High-risk areas for bus accidents in Bloomington:
- Bloomington Boulevard and Main Street
San Bernardino has seen a steady increase in bus accidents over the past five years as development, warehouse operations, and population growth have intensified traffic throughout the region. Bloomington residents are particularly vulnerable because major commercial routes run directly through residential and shopping areas, putting everyday drivers in close proximity to city transit buses, school buses, charter buses, tour buses, and shuttle vans on a daily basis.
Real Results for Real Families
Attorney Big Al has recovered millions of dollars specifically for bus accident victims across the Inland Empire. Bus Accident settlements and verdicts are typically significantly higher than standard vehicle accident cases due to common carrier liability because the injuries are more severe and multiple parties share liability.
Big Al doesn’t just accept the first offer. He builds cases that force insurance companies to pay what Bloomington families actually deserve — covering every medical bill, every lost paycheck, every moment of pain and suffering, and every dollar of future care you’ll need.
What Your Bloomington Bus Accident Case Is Worth
Bus Accident cases in Bloomington involve high stakes and complex liability. The key factors that determine your case value:
- Severity of injuries: whiplash and neck injuries from lack of seatbelts, traumatic brain injuries from being thrown inside the bus, broken bones from falls, spinal cord injuries, and crush injuries in severe collisions
- Multiple liable parties: the bus driver, the bus company or transit authority, the bus manufacturer, the maintenance provider, and sometimes government entities may all share fault
- Regulatory violations: Violations of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for buses, California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulations, school bus safety laws, and common carrier duty-of-care standards can substantially increase case value
- Lost earning capacity: Many bus accident victims cannot return to their previous occupation
- Future medical needs: Catastrophic injuries often require years or decades of ongoing treatment, therapy, and assistive care
A typical Bloomington bus accident case involving serious injuries may be worth $300,000 to $2,000,000+. Don’t let the insurance company tell you otherwise — call Big Al for a free case evaluation.

How Insurance Companies Try to Cheat You
Bus accident claims are uniquely complex because buses are “common carriers” — held to the HIGHEST standard of care under California law. This means the bus company may be liable even if the driver was only slightly negligent.
Their tactics after a Bloomington bus accident:
- Rapid response teams: Investigators arrive at the scene within hours to collect evidence that helps THEM — before you’ve even left the hospital
- Recorded statements: They call quickly, sounding sympathetic, hoping you’ll say something on record that hurts your case
- Blame shifting: They’ll argue YOU caused the accident or contributed to your own injuries, even when their party was clearly at fault
- Evidence manipulation: bus surveillance camera footage, GPS tracking data, driver training records, maintenance logs, passenger manifests, and transit authority inspection records can be overwritten, deleted, or “lost” without a preservation letter from your attorney
- Lowball offers: They’ll offer a fraction of your case’s real value, hoping you’re desperate enough to take it before you hire a lawyer
Big Al has been fighting these tactics for 15+ years. He sends preservation letters immediately, hires independent investigators, and builds cases that insurance companies can’t ignore.
WHAT TO DO AFTER A BLOOMINGTON BUS ACCIDENT
1. Get Safe & Call 911
Move to safety if possible. Call 911 immediately — bus accidents always require a police report and often involve hazards that aren’t immediately obvious.
2. Document Everything at the Scene
Take photos of all vehicles, damage, road conditions, traffic signals, and your injuries. For bus accidents specifically, also document bus surveillance camera footage and any identifying information on the bus.
3. Get Medical Attention Immediately
Bus Accident injuries often have delayed symptoms. Whiplash and neck injuries from lack of seatbelts and other serious conditions may not be apparent at the scene. Go to the ER or urgent care the same day.
4. Do NOT Give a Statement to Their Insurance
The insurance company will call fast — sometimes within hours. They are NOT trying to help you. They want you to say something that reduces your claim. Tell them to contact your attorney.
5. Call Attorney Big Al Immediately
Bus Accident evidence disappears fast. Bus surveillance camera footage can be overwritten or destroyed within days. Big Al sends preservation letters immediately to lock down critical evidence before it’s gone.
Every Type of Bloomington Bus Accident We Handle
City Transit Bus Crashes: Public transit buses make frequent stops, navigate dense urban traffic, and carry dozens of unrestrained passengers. Sudden stops, collisions at bus stops, and pedestrian strikes are tragically common. In Bloomington, these incidents are particularly common near SR-60 and surrounding corridors.
Bus Stop Pedestrian Accidents: Passengers stepping off buses into traffic, vehicles failing to stop for loading/unloading buses, and poorly designed bus stops all contribute to pedestrian injuries. In Bloomington, these incidents are particularly common near Cedar Ave and surrounding corridors.
School Bus Accidents: Among the most emotionally devastating cases. Children boarding, exiting, or riding school buses face unique dangers. School districts and bus companies can be held liable. In Bloomington, these incidents are particularly common near SR-60 and surrounding corridors.
Charter and Tour Bus Rollovers: Large charter buses have a high center of gravity. Speeding on curves, tire blowouts, and driver fatigue on long trips cause catastrophic rollovers with mass casualties. In Bloomington, these incidents are particularly common near Cedar Ave and surrounding corridors.
Bus Mechanical Failure Crashes: Brake failure, tire blowouts, steering malfunctions — when a 40,000-pound bus loses mechanical control, everyone nearby is at risk. Maintenance negligence is often the root cause. In Bloomington, these incidents are particularly common near SR-60 and surrounding corridors.
