Many people in San Antonio and throughout the state of Texas depend on public transportation, such as buses, to get them safely from place to place. Since buses generally travel at lower speeds, accidents involving buses are less common than other motor vehicle accidents.

Contact Sahadi Legal Group today to schedule your initial consultation with our dedicated legal team.
Injured in a Bus Accident? Don’t Proceed Without a Competent Lawyer in Your Corner.
When it comes to bringing a personal injury claim after a bus accident, you’ll need an attorney with extensive experience representing clients who’ve been injured in these accidents in the past. We understand the various complexities and intricacies of bus accidents, including potential challenges posed by assigning liability at the outset of the case. Don’t hire just any lawyer, hire a Bexar County, Texas personal injury lawyer from the Sahadi Legal Group to fight for you.
Determining Liability
The first part of any personal injury claim is correctly determining the liable party. For example, if you were injured as a passenger on a bus because of the bus driver’s negligence, you’ll most likely sue the bus driver or his/her bus company. Additionally, if you were hurt while driving your car due to the negligent actions of a bus driver, you will also likely sue the bus driver. That said, if you were hurt as a passenger on a bus because of another driver’s negligence, you will most likely sue that driver’s insurance company for compensation. Our firm will assess the circumstances of your case and pursue a strong legal route forward.
Statute of Limitations
You should understand that when someone is hurt on or by public property (such as a VIA bus) they will have far less time to file a Notice of Claim than they would to bring a standard personal injury claim. The time limit on most personal injury claims in Texas is two years, however, if you were involved in an accident with a public bus, you will have to file a Notice of Claim within six months of the date your accident happened. This is why it’s always best to retain the services of a competent bus accident lawyer as soon after an accident as you can.
