BUS ACCIDENTS
Bus accidents — whether involving city transit buses, school buses, charter coaches, or private shuttles — can cause serious injuries to passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists. These cases involve complex liability issues and often require claims against government entities or large corporations.
UNDERSTANDING BUS ACCIDENTS
Bus accidents are caused by driver error, inadequate maintenance, poor road conditions, or other negligent drivers. When a bus is involved in a crash, the sheer size and weight of the vehicle means that injuries to passengers and others are often severe.
Claims against government-operated bus systems (city transit, school buses) involve special rules, including shorter filing deadlines and specific notice requirements. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim. Acting quickly is essential.
Private charter buses and commercial coaches are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Violations of these regulations — such as driver fatigue rules or maintenance requirements — can establish strong liability. Attorneys in our referral network know how to investigate and build these cases.
