Bus Accidents in California
Bus accidents are especially worrying because the risk of serious injury is so high. Given the sheer size and weight of these vehicles, injuries can include paralysis, internal organ damage, head trauma, and even limb loss. Even less serious accidents can leave victims with cuts, bruises, fractures, and tissue damage.
School and transit buses are among the most common buses involved in road accidents. According to the most recent data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), these bus types accounted for almost 75% of all fatal crashes in 2021.
However, any kind of bus can be in a road crash, as either the cause of the incident or just another vehicle caught in the chaos. Per the FMCSA, in 2021, 10,000 buses played a role in crashes that injured 18,000 people and killed 221. Whether you need Greyhound bus accident lawyer or one with specific experience in school bus cases, call us today.
Who to Sue in a Bus Accident Claim
Who you sue depends on who is at fault for the crash. This could be the driver or the bus company, or both. In some cases, it’s even the bus manufacturer, as the result of one or more faulty parts that somehow escaped quality control.
All bus carriers, from Megabus and Greyhound to Foothill Transit and the Los Angeles MTA, must have insurance policies to cover accident settlements. Our team will negotiate a settlement on your behalf that properly addresses the physical, emotional, and financial toll you’ve paid from a crash. And, whenever necessary, we’ll take your case to the courtroom.
Our California bus injury attorney team has the experience, compassion, and drive that’s necessary to win these cases. We will determine who to sue and how best to proceed based on the facts of the case. All you must do is focus on healing and recovery.

“If I ever need a lawyer again, I’m calling The May Firm. I was rear ended and had a ton of bills. They told me what my rights were and that they would take care of me. All I had to do was get to physical therapy. They did everything, and I ended up with a very nice settlement and a new car. Thank you! You exceeded my expectations!”

Proving a Bus Accident Case
To prove a bus accident case, you must show that:
- Someone owed you a duty of care (e.g., the driver and/or bus company);
- This party breached their duty of care by acting negligently;
- You have physical and/or mental injuries; and
- You’re injured due to the negligence of the at-fault party.
At The May Firm, we’re upfront and honest with clients and prospective clients. That’s why we don’t deny that bus accident claims can be hard to negotiate.
Bus companies have attorneys of their own, not to mention the insurers they have on their side. None of these parties have your best interests in mind. They’ll do everything possible to keep payouts to a minimum.
Do not accept a quick settlement offer. It may be less than you deserve.
Without a California bus accident attorney on your side, it is nearly impossible to demand (let alone receive) the compensation you’re truly owed. The settlement that the responsible parties offersmay seem reasonable or even favorable. However, hiring an experienced bus injury attorney significantly increases your chances of gaining the restitution that you deserve.
Injuries resulting from bus accidents can be severe and life-altering. The May Firm’s bus accident attorneys will work to make sure you are compensated for all costs and losses resulting from the injuries you sustained. These can include medical bills, loss of wages, pain and suffering, and future medical expenses.
The full cost of treatment for these injuries can quickly reach tens of thousands of dollars, and sometimes go well beyond that. Victims of injuries resulting from bus accidents do not deserve to pay for damages resulting from the accidents. Let The May Firm fight for your right to fair compensation.

Steps to Take After a Bus Accident
You should always get medical advice after a bus crash, even if you feel relatively well. Injuries may appear slowly – and they can be serious. Once you know the extent of your injuries, it’s easier to determine how much your case is worth.
Once you’ve received care for any immediate injuries, your next step should be retaining a California bus accident attorney from The May Firm. With our experience on your side, you stand the best chance of getting the damages you deserve.
Also, California places a two-year statute of limitations on bus injury claims. If you fail to file within this window of time, you won’t have any way to receive the restitution you’re owed. The parties at fault for the crash won’t suffer any consequences and might well put other people at risk.
We know that bus accident injuries can be severe. They can affect the entire family. When we take on your case, we’ll fully consider the impact of your injuries on your loved ones as well as you.
Keep any evidence to support your claim, including pictures of your injuries and images of the crash scene. Medical information provided by any doctors or other caregivers you saw is also crucial. The more evidence we have, the stronger your case will be.
