Question 1

How much time do I have to bring a bus accident lawsuit in California?

Accepted Answer

Under California law for personal injury matters (including bus accidents), a person generally has two years from the date of the accident in order to file a lawsuit for injuries suffered.

Question 2

The bus driver wasn't at fault, but what do I do?

Accepted Answer

Even if the bus driver was not responsible, you may still have the legal right to financial compensation if another person caused the accident. You should consult with an attorney who can assist you in sorting out who is responsible.

Question 3

If the bus is owned by a public authority, can I sue the government?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can sue the government, but the rules are also different for government entities and you have much less time to do it. This is one of those processes lawyers can help guide you through.

Question 4

Will my case go to trial?

Accepted Answer

Not all bus crash cases will end up in a courtroom. Most cases settle before going to court, but if yours does end up in court, your attorney will fight for fair compensation on your behalf.
