Bus Accidents in California

California’s roads are constantly filled with buses—whether they’re public transit, school buses, tour buses, or private shuttles. While buses provide a crucial mode of transportation, accidents involving these large vehicles can be devastating due to their size, weight, and passenger capacity.

Bus accidents can result from various factors, including driver fatigue, distracted driving, poor maintenance, or hazardous road conditions. Unlike standard car accidents, bus crashes often involve multiple injured parties, making the claims process more complex. Victims may include passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and occupants of other vehicles, all of whom may face serious injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord damage, or traumatic brain injuries.

Determining liability in a bus accident can be challenging, as responsibility may lie with the bus driver, the company operating the bus, government entities, or even third-party maintenance providers. Additionally, filing a claim against a government-run transit system involves strict deadlines and procedural requirements, making legal guidance essential.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus accident, seeking medical attention should be your top priority. Afterward, consulting a skilled attorney to aid you in gathering evidence—such as witness statements, photos, and accident reports—can be crucial in building a strong case. Compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by the accident.
