Bus and Train Accidents

Bus accident scenarios are varied, but often involve situations such as the following:

• A pedestrian is hit by a bus in a crosswalk
• A bus driver stops suddenly, and is rear-ended by a car that is tailgating it
• A bus swerves and sideswipes another vehicle that was attempting to pass
• A bus passenger is injured when a bus hits a standing object such as a lamppost or overpass ramp wall
• Buses that hit bicycles when merging in or out of bus lanes that cross bike lanes

Accidents on LA Area Buses

Regardless of the circumstances of a bus accident, we represent the injured and the bereaved after collisions that may involve:

• MTA (Metro Transit Authority) local transit accidents
• DASH bus accidents
• First Transit bus accidents
• Shuttle bus accidents
• Train or bus accidents with commercial vehicles

The sooner our lawyers become involved in a bus accident investigation, the more likely it is that we will be successful in obtaining the maximum available recovery of monetary compensation for victims — whether they are pedestrians, bicyclists, bus passengers, other motorists, or passengers of other vehicles.

We recommend only the most highly qualified doctors — including physicians who treat professional athletes. These authoritative health care providers offer hope for improvement and are respected by the insurers who are obligated to compensate the injured.

Our experience in insurance defense has given us skills and insight that translate to proper compensation for our clients who have suffered head injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns or other serious physical harm. We also handle wrongful death claims and lawsuits for people who have lost loved ones in bus accidents in Southern California.

Drivers of transportation common carriers, such as city bus drivers and train conductors, owe their passengers, pedestrians and other motorists a high duty of care in their operation of these vehicles. If this duty has been breached, we will work to make sure the city pays you for the injuries you have suffered.
