On the day of July 25th, 2025, a Greyhound bus was traveling through Greenville, South Carolina when a serious crash occurred. At least twelve people were injured, and reports showed that the accident occurred in a construction zone. Questions have been raised about driver fatigue, careless driving, and bus safety standards.
Two passengers from the crash have retained Pracht Injury Lawyers, and we are actively investigating the circumstances of the incident. We will pursue every avenue to ensure that victims receive the compensation they deserve to help pay for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Bus Safety and Common Carrier Responsibility in South Carolina
In South Carolina, public transportation companies like Greyhound are considered what are called “common carriers.” Under SC law, “common carriers” owe the highest duty of care to their passengers, which means that bus companies must take every reasonable precaution to protect them from harm.
When a crash happens, especially in a construction zone or under conditions involving fatigued or careless driving, the bus company immediately comes under scrutiny to see if it and its driver met this legal duty. If they did not, passengers can hold them accountable through legal action.
Our Ongoing Investigation
The legal team at Pracht Injury Lawyers is conducting a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding this Greyhound bus crash. We are examining multiple factors that may have contributed to this collision, including:
- Driver Performance: Federal hours-of-service regulations, driver training records, and any history of violations
- Vehicle Maintenance: Bus inspection records, mechanical condition, and compliance with federal motor carrier safety standards
- Company Policies: Greyhound's hiring practices, safety protocols, and driver supervision procedures
- Road Conditions: Construction zone safety measures and visibility conditions at the time of the crash
Our investigation parallels the approach we take in all commercial vehicle accident cases, ensuring no stone is left unturned in building the strongest possible case for our clients.
Call for Witnesses and Injured Passengers
If you were a passenger in this Greyhound bus crash or were a witness to this incident, we want to hear from you. Any information you can provide could be incredibly important to holding Greyhound accountable and bringing justice for all who were injured.
If you or one of your loved ones were hurt in this crash, you don’t have to face this alone. Our attorneys are here to help you file a claim against Greyhound to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, injuries, and emotional suffering. You should not have to bear the burden of an event that was not your fault, and if you suffered trauma due to the negligence of others, they should be held accountable.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents Require Specialized Legal Expertise
Bus accidents differ significantly from typical car accident cases. These complex cases often involve multiple potentially liable parties, including:
- The bus driver (for negligent operation)
- The transportation company (for inadequate training, hiring, or supervision)
- Vehicle manufacturers (for defective parts or systems)
- Third parties (for road hazards or construction zone safety violations)
Like tractor trailer and trucking accident cases, commercial bus crashes are governed by federal transportation regulations that require specialized knowledge to navigate effectively.
Your Rights as a Greyhound Bus Crash Victim
If you were injured in this Greenville bus accident, you have important legal rights. Under South Carolina law, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (including ongoing treatment and rehabilitation)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Property damage
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in South Carolina is typically three years, but certain factors can affect this timeline. It's crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your legal rights.
