Key Legal Facts About Bus Accidents

01

Government Claims Deadlines

Claims against city or government-operated buses have much shorter filing deadlines — sometimes as little as 90 days. Act immediately.

02

Common Carrier Standard

Bus companies are held to the highest duty of care under law. Even minor negligence can result in full liability for all passenger injuries.

03

Multiple Victims

Bus accidents often involve many injured passengers. Class action or mass tort litigation may be appropriate to maximize compensation for all victims.

04

Driver Fatigue & Training

Poor driver training and fatigue are leading causes of bus accidents. Both the driver and company can be held liable for inadequate standards.
