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

  1. Get medical care and keep every record.
  2. Write down the bus number, route, and time.
  3. Get names of other passengers who saw what happened.
  4. 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.

Is the review free?

Yes, completely free with no obligation.
