 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With LLN attorneys Harry and Gerardo I never had to worry. I never had to worry about whether LLN is going get me the best settlement possible…or rollover at the first offer. Harry and Gerardo have a simple action plan. Present the case for negotiation. If that’s not respected then go to trial. After I signed up with LLN I was introduced to the entire team on a Zoom call. I was told who was responsible for what. I was told where things happen, when things happen, and how they happen. I downloaded the LLN app, and if I needed to reach anyone I simply messaged them and someone got back to me in a timely manner. I always had the option to call if necessary. What I didn’t have to deal with is a guy on a billboard telling me how cool and tough they are. The same guy that calls right away when the slightest pushback happens telling me I need to settle. LLN are trial attorneys who actually go to trial against the opposition. It seems like most other law firms only go to trial when they’re suing their own law partner. How many billboards have I driven past? How many buses with advertisement on the side? How many TV commercials telling me how “they’re gonna fight for my whatever”. It doesn’t happen… and it’s all smoke and mirrors with a majority of the attorneys out there. I believe the attorneys at LLN didn’t do this just for me. LLN operates the way they do because they have pride in their work and self-respect. They have a reputation to uphold, not only with their clients but also with their colleagues and their peers. How do I know this? Because I saw them interact with mediators and judges. I saw how they were treated by the people making the decisions. They have their respect. It’s critical to note that I had realistic expectations for my settlement. For me it was all about finding the sweet spot. The trade-off between a long trial and a verdict, or taking what quite possibly is just as close an offer and settling much earlier while minimizing risk. Once I made a decision I did not look back. The attorneys at LLN are realistic. They stated ‘this is what we have’ , ‘this is what we don’t have’, and ‘this is what we might be able to achieve’ . I made a decision with as much informed consent as possible. I can live with that.

Los Angeles Bus Accident Lawyer

Representing drivers, passengers & pedestrians.

Every day, people throughout Los Angeles County rely on public transportation – especially buses – to get around. Buses help relieve the congested traffic of our roads and highways and are an environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Unfortunately, given their size, buses can cause serious devastation when involved in an accident.

If you or someone you love was involved in a bus accident in any capacity and suffered injuries, our personal injury attorneys want to help you. Our Los Angeles bus accident lawyers at LNN can investigate the accident, prove liability, and build a strong claim on your behalf.

COMMON CAUSES OF BUS ACCIDENTS

Buses are designed and built with passenger safety in mind. Even so, automobile accidents are an unfortunate reality and a common occurrence on the roads and freeways.

Our firm has handled cases involving bus accidents caused by:

Distracted driving
Texting while driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Defective vehicle components, including faulty brakes, windows, seats, etc.
Unsafe road conditions, such as road defects or potholes.
Reckless driving, including speeding, failing to yield, failing to check blind spots, and other traffic violations.

The attorneys at LNN represent any party who has been injured in a bus accident in Los Angeles, including passengers, bus drivers, pedestrians, and drivers who have been struck by a bus. From school children, senior citizens, everyday commuters, to other drivers on the roads, we are prepared to represent clients from all walks of life pursue just compensation for their injuries.

Bus accidents often involve a mix of private companies, city agencies, and multiple insurance carriers, which makes these cases far more complex than a typical traffic collision. Levin & Nalbandyan understands how quickly these situations escalate and how difficult it can feel trying to figure out your next step while dealing with painful injuries, missed work, or a damaged vehicle. Our team regularly assists clients throughout Los Angeles, including those injured on city buses, school buses, shuttle services, and privately operated charter vehicles.

Steps to Take After a Bus Accident

After any bus crash, the actions taken in the hours and days that follow can influence how well your claim is documented. If you are able, begin by calling 911 and requesting medical attention. Bus accidents often generate multiple injured parties, and it is important to make sure your injuries are formally evaluated and recorded.

If you were a passenger, report your injury to the driver and ensure the incident is entered into the transportation company’s records. Take photos of the bus, your injuries, debris, skid marks, traffic signals, and anything else that helps capture the scene.

If there were witnesses, ask for their contact information before they leave, as these individuals are often difficult to track down later.

You should also avoid giving recorded statements to any insurance company before you have spoken with a lawyer. Large transit carriers and government agencies often have legal teams that respond immediately after an incident, and their priority is limiting liability. Finally, contact Levin & Nalbandyan so our team can preserve evidence, secure black-box data, and begin communicating with the appropriate agencies on your behalf.

Statute of Limitations and Filing Deadlines

California bus accident cases follow the general two-year statute of limitations for personal injury, but many bus collisions involve public transportation agencies such as LADOT, Metro, or school districts. Claims against these entities require a government claim to be filed within six months. Missing this deadline can prevent you from pursuing compensation entirely.

Government claims are highly procedural, and even small mistakes can result in a denial. After the claim is submitted, the agency has a set period of time to respond. If the claim is rejected, you then have a limited window to file a lawsuit.

If the bus was operated by a private charter or shuttle company, the timeline may follow the standard two-year period, but evidence still needs to be secured quickly. Levin & Nalbandyan routinely handles cases involving both private carriers and Los Angeles governmental entities, and our team ensures all notices, filings, and deadlines are properly completed.

TYPES OF BUS ACCIDENT IJURIES

Given the sheer size and weight of a bus, accidents can lead to severe, catastrophic, and sometimes even fatal injuries.

Common bus accident injuries include:

Head injuries
Neck injuries, including whiplash
Brain injuries and concussions
Spinal cord injuries, which can lead to paralysis
Amputations
Burns
Fractures
Broken bones
Nerve damage
Organ damage
Facial and dental injuries
Permanent disfigurement
Other fatal injuries that can lead to wrongful death

Bus Accident Liability

If you are involved in a bus accident, one of the first things you may ask is who can be held liable for your injuries. Depending on the situation you might be able to hold one or more parties liable for your injuries including the bus driver, the bus company, a government entity, or the bus manufacturer.

When can a bus company or other party might be held liable for a person’s injuries:

Violation of state or federal laws and regulations
Inadequate licensing and training
Improper maintenance of the bus
Driver operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Operator inattention, fatigue, or negligence

Determining liability or who can be held legally responsible for your damages can be challenging without the help of a qualified attorney. It is imperative to discuss your case with an experienced bus accident lawyer in Los Angeles who knows the law and can fight to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation allowed.

Economic and Non-Economic Bus Accident Damages

In California, a bus accident victim may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages. An attorney can help estimate the total amount of damages you should request.

Economic damages are monetary losses that can be easily verified or calculated. Medical bills, lost wages, and the cost of repairs to your vehicle are common forms of economic damages.

Non-economic damages are more subjective losses that are considered non-monetary including compensation for emotional distress, loss of society or companionship, and pain and suffering.

Types of Bus Accidents

Greyhound and Tour Bus Accidents

Some of the most horrific accidents involve Greyhounds and other tour buses. Because these buses usually carry a large number of passengers and travel long distances, the results can be catastrophic.

Unfortunately, the cause of many of these accidents is driver fatigue or inattention. Greyhound and tour bus operators may be required to drive overnight to arrive at their destination. Exhaustion can quickly lead to devastation for dozens of passengers and other motorists.

School Bus Accidents

School children can be particularly vulnerable to accidents because they are unrestrained in the bus. Even a minor accident can cause serious injury or death to young kids that are unable to wear seat belts.

In addition to injuries that occur on the bus, many school children are injured when they are loading and unloading. If your child is injured while riding a school bus, it may be the school board or another government entity that can be held responsible for your losses.

Public Transportation Bus Accidents

There are several public bus fleets in Los Angeles including the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Metro buses, City of Los Angeles Transportation (LADOT) Dash buses, and the Flyaway bus service.

If you are involved in a public transportation bus accident in Los Angeles, you need to act quickly as you only have a limited amount of time to file a claim for damages. Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or another motorist injured in the accident, you should always speak to an attorney.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States.

What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.

In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity.

Notifying Insurance Companies

You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations.

It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses.
