Why bus cases are different
- Public transit claims can require formal notice within a short time, sometimes just months.
- Several parties may share responsibility: the driver, the bus company, a maintenance contractor, or another motorist.
- Passengers often have no seatbelts, which can mean more serious injuries.
What to do after a bus crash
- Get medical care and keep every record.
- Write down the bus number, route, and time.
- Get names of other passengers who saw what happened.
- Photograph your injuries and the scene if you can.
Frequently asked questions
Can I file a claim against a city bus?
Often yes, but government claims usually have short notice deadlines and special rules. Don't wait.
I was a passenger and nobody else was hurt. Do I still have a claim?
You may. Sudden stops and collisions can injure passengers even when the bus looks undamaged.
