Bus Stop Accident Lawsuits

When an individual or group is negligent in causing an accident, they are liable for initiating the damages. It is vital for victims injured and their families to go after those responsible to help prevent others from suffering similar accidents.

Liability of Filing Lawsuit against Metro MTA Bus Lines

Operators of the bus line have a duty to ensure the safety of their passengers. A majority of bus line operators in the state of California are government agencies. Therefore, under California Government Code Section 810 et seq. rules regarding government entities for personal injury liability and compensation for damages under the state law, the California’s Torts Claims Act provides for a scope of limited waiver of sovereign immunity to bring personal injury claims against the State of California including all public entities.

Statute of Limitation on Scope of Lawsuit

Generally, the statute of limitations for filing a claim against a government entity is only six months.  So, if you have been injured due to a bus accident you should act quickly to seek quality legal representation as the statute of limitations may limit you from recovering for your injuries.

We Fight To Recover Your Remedies

Based on the specifications of your case – the details of the accident, how severe your injury was, it is ultimately going to determine what you could be entitled to sustain based on your case. However, what you can be compensated for if your case prevails can often be put into several different categories.

The categories of compensation can include:

Medical bills: Should you win your case, you could be awarded compensation for medical bills you’ve had to pay as a result of your injury. This includes both past and future bills stemming from the injury, and can potentially cover expenses such as transport or in-home rehabilitation services.

Lost wages: Lost wages can be awarded if your injury has caused significant missed time at work, or has made you unable to perform your job. You could be entitled to even more lost wages if the injury leaves you permanently disabled and unable to find consistent work.

Pain and suffering: In some cases, the damages endured from physical pain and emotional suffering can be compensated to pay for therapy treatments.

Punitive damages: Punitive damages are awarded in more extreme cases, wherein the injury was caused by someone’s recklessness. They are awarded to try and dissuade the defendant and others from acting with that level of recklessness again.
