Long Beach Bus Accident Lawyer

Injured in a bus accident in Long Beach? Buses are held to the highest standard of care under California law — and tight deadlines apply when a public bus is involved. Our bus accident lawyers fight for the full compensation you deserve – $100M+ recovered, no fee unless we win.

Long Beach Offices

Long Beach Transit buses, school buses, charter coaches, and Metro lines move thousands of riders across the city every day — through Downtown, along Ocean Blvd, and across the busy corridors feeding the 405 and 710. When a bus crashes, passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers can suffer serious injuries. Our office is right here on Ocean Blvd, and we know how to handle claims against transit agencies, private bus companies, and their insurers.

Buses Owe Passengers the Highest Duty of Care

Under California law, buses are common carriers — and common carriers owe passengers the utmost care and diligence, a higher standard than ordinary drivers. When a bus company or driver falls short of that duty and someone is hurt, they can be held liable. Our bus accident lawyers handle crashes caused by:

  • Driver negligence — speeding, distraction, or fatigue
  • Inadequate driver training or screening
  • Poor bus maintenance — brake and tire failures
  • Overcrowding and unsafe boarding conditions
  • Sudden stops and starts that throw passengers
  • Other negligent drivers on the road

Whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, a cyclist, or in another vehicle, we identify every liable party — the driver, the bus company, a transit agency, or a maintenance contractor — and pursue each source of compensation.

Deadlines and Claims Against Public Bus Agencies

Many Long Beach bus accidents involve a public entity such as Long Beach Transit or LA Metro — and that dramatically changes the timeline. Claims against a government agency must usually be filed within six months of the accident, far shorter than the standard two-year deadline. Missing that window can bar your claim entirely.

Our bus accident attorneys know the government claims process and act quickly to file on time, preserve evidence, and protect your right to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care. If your accident involved a private bus or charter company, standard deadlines and insurance rules apply — and we handle those claims as well.
