- Trial lawyers who stand up to insurance companies.
- No attorney fees unless we win your case.

Who Is Responsible for a Bus Accident?
Under California law, bus companies and public transit agencies are “common carriers.” They must use the utmost care to keep passengers safe. Depending on what happened, responsibility may fall on:
- The bus driver and the agency or company that employs them.
- The City of Santa Monica or another public transit agency.
- Another driver who caused the crash.
- A maintenance company or the manufacturer of a defective bus part.
Special Rules for Claims Against Public Agencies
If a city bus or other public agency is involved, you usually must file a written government claim within six months of the accident before you can sue. Missing this deadline can end your case. Claims against private bus companies generally must be filed within two years.
What to Do After a Bus Accident
- Get medical care right away.
- Write down the bus number, route, time, and location.
- Take photos of the scene and your injuries.
- Collect names and phone numbers of witnesses and other passengers.
- Keep your medical records and receipts.
- Talk to a lawyer before giving a statement to a transit agency or insurer.
Compensation You May Recover
A bus accident claim may cover medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term care for serious injuries.
