Los Angeles Bus Accident Attorney
Bus accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of buses and the lack of safety restraints. Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or driver of another vehicle, bus accidents often cause devastating consequences.
What makes bus accidents particularly difficult is that they typically involve large companies, public entities, or school districts — all of which are protected by strong legal teams.
Bus Accidents and the Law
If you’ve been injured in a bus accident, you may be able to sue the party responsible. These cases often involve:
- Public transit agencies (e.g., Metro)
- School districts
- Private charter companies
- Tour bus operators
- Bus maintenance providers
- Vehicle manufacturers
Because buses are often operated by government entities, there may be shorter time limits and specific procedures for filing a claim. Missing a step can result in your case being dismissed.
Why Bus Accident Lawsuits Are Complex
David Olan, has experience holding powerful transportation companies accountable. Investigating a bus accident requires a detailed review of:
- Vehicle maintenance records
- Driver qualifications and conduct
- Surveillance footage
- Company safety procedures
- Government oversight
Even if you were partially at fault, California’s comparative negligence laws may still allow you to recover damages.
Types of Damages You Can Recover
- Medical expenses
- Emotional distress
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death of a loved one
- Loss of future income
- Rehabilitation and long-term care costs
The Cost of a Bus Accident Attorney
Olan Law typically works on contingency. This means you owe nothing unless David Olan recovers compensation for you.
Time Limits to File a Bus Accident Lawsuit
Claims against public agencies have much shorter deadlines — as little as six months in some cases. Don’t delay. Reach out as soon as you’re medically able.
