At Least 14 Injured after Multi-Vehicle Crash Involving City Bus – Los Angeles Accident Attorneys

These accidents can be caused by many different reasons, which may include the following:

• Reckless driving
• Speeding
• Weaving in and out of traffic
• Tailgating
• Cutting other drivers off
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Ignoring traffic signals and laws

Accidents involving buses and passenger vehicles can have devastating consequences, as is apparent by the damage sustained by all the vehicles involved. These incidents can result in the following injuries:

• Head injuries, concussions, and traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries and back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Fractures
• Crushing injuries
• Severed limbs
• Sprains and strains
• Burn injuries
• Scrapes and bruises
• Lacerations

Bus Accidents Result in Specific Injuries – because of the way that buses work, passengers can potentially suffer significant injuries. City buses are not equipped with seatbelts and passengers often ride the bus standing up (when there are no seats), so whether passengers are sitting or standing they can be thrown around the bus in case of a crash. Bus riders may suffer head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, concussions, neck injuries, and more.

No matter the harm that you or a loved one suffered in an auto accident, it is important that you seek medical help immediately. In addition, you should explore the legal options available to you as soon as possible – as you may have the right to sue.

Yes, you could be eligible to file a lawsuit. Your right to sue is based on the duty of care owed by drivers on the road. Based on the details surrounding the incident (i.e., what party or entity is found to have been responsible), then you could sue the liable party/entity – whether this is a private driver, their insurance company, a bus company, or even a road agency. For more information about your right to file a lawsuit, please do not hesitate to seek legal help as soon as possible.

All claims are subject to a statute of limitations – or a deadline to sue. In other words, claimants must file their claims within the applicable timeframe or risk losing their right to sue entirely. What deadline applies to your claim? Under California law, personal injury claims or wrongful death claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, which means that claimants only have two years to file their claims.

It is also important to note that claims that involve government entities (like bus companies and road maintenance agencies) are subject to a much stricter statute of limitations. More specifically, claimants have to file their claims within just six months of the incident. Depending on the government entity’s response, claimants may have either six months or two years to file.
