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.

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.
