Bus Accident Attorney in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a bustling metropolis with an extensive network of bus services catering to the daily commuting needs of its residents and tourists alike. Some of the most recognized bus companies operating within the city include:

And many others.

If you are a passenger, pedestrian, or driver of another vehicle, bus companies owe you a duty of care when you share the road with their buses. If they breach this duty and cause you or a loved one serious injuries, you may have a valid claim against them.

Bus companies may be held responsible if negligence on their part led to the accident. This could include scenarios where:

• the accident was due to inadequate maintenance of the bus;
• failure to properly train or supervise the bus driver contributed to the accident; or
• the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol or driving recklessly.

Other parties, such as bus part manufacturers, government agencies, or even road construction companies, may bear a certain degree of liability if they were negligent in one way or another, causing the accident.

The variety of buses on the roads in Los Angeles is as diverse as the city itself. One study found that California leads in the list of states with the most registered buses (94,889) as of 2021.

This includes city buses operated by Metro, school buses, private charter buses, and tour buses. Each type of bus has unique operational patterns and regulations, which can influence the dynamics of an accident. Whether it's a collision involving a school bus full of students, a city bus navigating its regular route, or a private tour bus, you should consider hiring a Morgan and Morgan bus accident lawyer in Los Angeles to help fight for your rights.
