Different Types of Bus Accidents

At McGee Lerer Ogrin, we handle all types of bus accident claims, such as those involving:

• City buses: City buses can cause serious accidents due to sudden stops, unsafe driving, or poorly maintained vehicles.
• School buses: Accidents involving school buses can be particularly challenging due to the complications of bringing a claim against a school district.
• Private buses: Shuttle services and private buses used by businesses or organizations are sometimes caused by negligent drivers or insufficient vehicle maintenance.
• Charter buses: Charter buses used for interstate travel or group trips can be a significant safety risk, particularly if the driver is fatigued or the bus company fails to comply with safety regulations.
• Party buses: Party buses often combine transportation with events or celebrations, leading to accidents caused by reckless driving or intoxicated passengers. Complex liability issues often follow party bus crashes in L.A.

Los Angeles Metro Bus Accidents

Los Angeles Metro Buses crisscross the city and county, making up the majority of its transportation network and carrying thousands of passengers daily. However, accidents involving these buses can lead to complex legal cases. When a public or government entity such as Metro Bus is involved, special rules apply. One of the most important considerations is the shorter statute of limitations, which requires victims to file claims much sooner than in typical personal injury cases. You could have only a few months to send a notice of your intent to file a claim if you file against the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (also called LA Metro).

Failure to meet these deadlines can result in losing your right to seek compensation. At McGee Lerer Ogrin, we understand the intricacies of filing claims against public entities and are committed to taking care of every step for you.

We Represent Anyone Hurt in a Bus Accident

We represent anyone who has been injured in a Los Angeles bus accident, including:

• Passengers who were on the bus at the time of the accident
• Motorists who were struck by a bus
• Cyclists or pedestrians who were harmed due to a collision

We usually begin by thoroughly investigating the circumstances of the accident, including driver behavior, maintenance records, and company policies. Our team works closely with clients to gather evidence, consult with third-party experts when necessary, and prepare a compelling case. We prioritize your unique needs and fight tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Why Some Bus Accident Claims Go to Litigation

While many bus accident claims are resolved through settlements, some cases require litigation. If liability is disputed between parties, the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement or no settlement at all, or the accident involves significant damages or injuries, it will be more likely to go to trial for a conclusion.

Our Los Angeles bus accident attorneys have the skill and determination to represent you in court when necessary. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial so that we remain ready to present a strong and persuasive argument on your behalf.
