Understanding Bus Accidents in Bozeman, MT
Bozeman’s growing population, Montana State University traffic, tourism, and public transportation routes all contribute to increased bus activity. While buses play a vital role in moving people efficiently, accidents involving buses often cause more severe injuries than typical car crashes. These cases can also be legally complex, involving multiple parties, government entities, and specialized insurance rules.
At Hoyt & Blewett PLLC, we understand Montana personal injury law and the unique challenges of bus accident claims. Our goal is to help injured victims recover physically, emotionally, and financially.

Common Bus Crash Injuries
Due to their size and lack of passenger restraints, buses can cause severe injuries in a collision. Common bus accident injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Neck and back injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Burns or lacerations
- Soft tissue injuries
- Psychological trauma, including PTSD
Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, making prompt medical evaluation essential after any bus accident.
Why Injured Riders Choose Our Firm
When you are looking for a bus accident lawyer Bozeman residents can rely on, you are not just choosing a name on a website. You are choosing the team that will stand between your family and powerful insurance companies, bus operators, and sometimes public entities. Our firm has been serving injured people in Montana since 1938.
The Blewett family legacy began with Alex Blewett in Great Falls. His son, Alexander “Zander” Blewett III, carried that tradition forward and became one of the most respected trial lawyers in the history of Montana. Today, Anders and Drew Blewett round out a third generation of trial lawyers who still come to work every day focused on helping injured Montanans rebuild their lives.
Our results reflect that commitment. We obtained the largest reported individual personal injury settlement in Montana history, a $27 million recovery for a client who suffered a brain injury in an auto accident. We also secured a $21.35 million malicious prosecution verdict, an $11 million settlement for a construction accident, a $9.79 million railroad crossing verdict, a $7 million personal injury verdict, and a $6.5 million wrongful death settlement. These numbers represent real people who needed meaningful compensation for life-changing harm.
Our attorneys are nationally recognized for this work. Zander Blewett is the only lawyer in Montana admitted to the Inner Circle of Advocates and the only Montana lawyer in the Lawdragon Hall of Fame. All four of our partners were named to the Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers in America, and they were the only Montana attorneys on that list. These honors send a clear message to insurers and corporate defendants that our firm is prepared for the courtroom.
We are selective about the Montana injury claims we accept, because we believe in quality over quantity. When we take on a bus crash case, we work to recover any and all compensation allowed under Montana law, and we devote the time and resources needed to tell our client’s story. More than 150 five-star Google reviews reflect the respect, patience, and personal attention we strive to provide.
