Why Bus Accident Cases Are Different

Bus accident cases are handled differently than regular automobile accident cases. Often, when there is a bus involved in an accident, there are Department of Transportation rules that apply, as well as, federal and state rules that are different for buses and bus drivers. Therefore, the accident needs to be investigated properly by an attorney who has experience in handling bus accident cases in California. 

Who Can I Hold Liable For My California Bus Accident Injuries?

Depending on the circumstances that caused your bus accident to occur, the following parties may be held liable to compensate you for your injuries and other damages:

• The bus company;
• The maintenance company that services or does repairs on the bus company’s vehicles;
• The bus driver;
• The manufacturer of the bus or the defective bus part that caused the accident; and
• The state or local government entity that provides the bus service.

Suing a State or Local Government Entity

Public entities are subject to specific protections from (and limitations on) liability under California law. So, it is best to speak with the knowledgeable and experienced California bus accident attorneys at eAccidents immediately after being injured on a public bus. We will be able to walk you through the various rules and regulations that pertain to lawsuits against public entities, such as:

• The deadline for Filing a Notice of claim;
• Limitations on bringing a lawsuit against a public entity;
• Limitations on the types and amounts of damages recoverable; and
• What must be proven to succeed in a claim against a public entity. 

Compensation for California Bus Accident Injuries 

While each bus accident case is unique, the California bus accident attorneys at eAccidents can help you recover maximum compensation for bus accident injuries and losses, such as:

• Past and future medical expenses;
• Lost wages;
• Loss of earning capacity; 
• Damage to personal property;
• Pain and suffering;
• Loss of consortium;
• Loss of enjoyment of life; and 
• Wrongful Death 

But what complicates bus accident cases further is the fact that there are usually multiple victims filing claims. There may have been many people on the bus when the accident occurred, but limited insurance funds available to compensate all who bring a claim. 

It is, therefore, imperative that you hire an attorney who can ensure that your claim will be filed as quickly as possible. The last thing you want is to find out that the at-fault party had minimal insurance coverage, and that the cases were all settled without you being involved.
