Bus accidents in LA are complicated. Multiple parties get involved—drivers, bus companies, city agencies, and their insurance teams. That’s why you need legal help immediately.
Start by getting medical attention. Then document the scene. Photos of the bus, your injuries, any visible hazards—capture what you can. If there are witnesses, get names and contact info. And don’t speak to any insurance adjusters without legal guidance.
At The LA Law Firm, we handle bus crash cases with urgency. We gather reports, pull surveillance footage, and demand answers. Whether the bus was operated by Metro, a school district, or a private shuttle, we know how to hold them accountable.
Don’t wait. Bus companies move quickly to protect themselves. We move faster.
You’re not just dealing with one driver. Most LA bus accident cases involve government agencies, private contractors, and layered insurance policies.
Buses are massive vehicles with high passenger loads and limited maneuverability. When something goes wrong, the legal process gets messy fast.
If you were a passenger, a pedestrian, or hit by a bus while driving, the claim process works differently than standard car accidents. Government-operated buses come with shorter deadlines and stricter filing rules.
Miss one of those steps, and you might lose your right to file. That’s where experienced legal help makes the difference.
Bus crashes in LA can happen in any neighborhood, but the causes tend to repeat.
We have experience with:
Some buses operate on hectic downtown routes. Others serve school zones or airports with heavy foot traffic. Every type of route comes with unique risks—and we build your case around the details that matter.
We’ve represented clients hit while boarding, crossing, or driving near buses. We investigate every angle to prove what went wrong.
Bus crashes leave more than dents. They disrupt your health, your job, and your finances. We build cases that reflect the full cost of what you’ve lost.
You may be eligible for compensation covering emergency treatment, hospital stays, physical therapy, and ongoing care. If you’ve missed work—or can’t return to the same job—we factor in lost income and future earning potential. Pain and suffering includes physical pain, stress, and the long-term impact on your daily life.
For passengers injured on a public bus, claims often require filing under government tort procedures. That means shorter deadlines and more paperwork—but it also means your lawyer needs to know the system.
We do. And we don’t settle for less than your case deserves.
Liability in bus crashes can fall on more than one party.
Sometimes it’s the driver. Other times, the fault lies with a maintenance crew, a third-party contractor, or the agency that runs the fleet. When public transportation is involved, you may be going up against the City of Los Angeles or the LA County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA).
These agencies use teams of lawyers and adjusters to protect themselves. We dig into maintenance records, driver logs, GPS data, and eyewitness accounts to build your case.
If multiple parties are at fault, we pursue each one. That’s how we maximize your recovery.
Bus accident cases aren’t like regular car crashes. You need a firm with real experience handling large-vehicle injury claims in LA.
At The LA Law Firm, we’ve helped victims of school bus collisions, Metro crashes, charter bus rollovers, and rideshare shuttle wrecks. We understand the legal process, the deadlines, and how to deal with public and private bus carriers.
You’ll work directly with an attorney—not a case manager or intake rep. We keep you informed, involved, and protected every step of the way.
No upfront fees. No win, no fee.
