Bus accident victims have substantial rights under California law whether the injured party was a passenger on a bus involved in an accident, a pedestrian struck by a bus, or in another vehicle struck by a bus. These rights include the right to compensation for medical expenses, property damage, loss of wages, pain & suffering, scaring and disfigurement, future medical expenses, loss of future enjoyment of life, disability and out of pocket expenses. California law imposes a strict statute of limitations, allowing a bus accident victim only a short amount of time to file a lawsuit, which is why it is so important that you contact a California bus accident attorney at Bisnar Chase right away.
California bus accidents that involve a bus owned or operated by a governmental agency present additional challenges in the quest to recover compensation for injuries and losses. As in any claim in California against a governmental agency, a formal claim (not a lawsuit) must be properly filed within six months of a bus accident if the bus is owned or operated by a governmental agency. The statute of limitations (time within which a lawsuit must be filed following an injury) is much different when the claim is against a governmental agency.
The Bisnar Chase lawyers have recovered many millions of dollars from governmental agencies and bus companies for their clients. In the process of pursuing compensation for their clients, the Bisnar Chase lawyers have pursued cases through the California Appeals Courts and the California Supreme Court where their definitions have been adopted by the California Courts as the law throughout the State.
