Los Angeles Bus Accident Lawyer

Injured in a bus accident in Los Angeles? Buses owe passengers the highest duty of care — but when a public bus is involved, you may have just six months to act. Our bus accident lawyers move fast to protect your claim. Over $100 million recovered. No fee unless we win.

Los Angeles / DTLA Offices

LA Metro buses and rail, the DASH Downtown lines, and charter coaches converge on Downtown LA — along Figueroa, Flower, 7th Street, and Grand, and through the transit hub at Union Station. When a bus crashes, passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers can be seriously hurt. Our office is right here on Flower Street in DTLA, and we know how to handle claims against transit agencies, private bus companies, and their insurers.

Can’t travel after the crash? We’ll meet by phone or video, or come to you at home or in the hospital.

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 an operator falls short and someone is hurt, that elevated duty makes liability easier to establish. We handle crashes caused by:

  • Driver speeding, distraction, or fatigue
  • Inadequate driver screening and training
  • Poor maintenance — brake and tire failures
  • Overcrowding and unsafe boarding
  • Sudden stops and starts that throw passengers

Whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, a cyclist, or in another vehicle, we identify every liable party — the operator, the company, the agency, or a maintenance contractor — and pursue each.

The Six-Month Deadline for Public Bus Claims

This is the detail that quietly kills strong cases. If your crash involved a public entity — such as LA Metro or the City of Los Angeles DOT — you generally must file a government claim within six months, far shorter than the standard two-year deadline. Miss it and your claim can be barred entirely. Our bus accident attorneys:

  • Identify whether a public agency is involved
  • File the government claim on time
  • Preserve onboard video, maintenance logs, and driver records
  • Handle private bus and charter claims under standard rules

The clock starts the day of the crash, so the sooner you call, the better we can protect your right to recover.
