Other Vehicle Accidents
Crashes involving buses and transit raise government and commercial liability issues. Learn the basics.
Multiple Liability Scenarios
Bus and transit accidents may involve public agencies, private bus companies, drivers, or other motorists. The responsible party affects the rules that apply to your claim.
Government Claims Deadlines
When a public transit agency is involved, the 180-day notice rule for government claims may apply — much shorter than the usual deadline. Prompt action is essential.
Passengers and Others
Injured passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers may all have claims. Passengers are rarely at fault, which can simplify liability.
Complex Cases
Because transit cases blend commercial and government rules, experienced representation helps ensure deadlines are met and the right parties are pursued.
