Claims against government-operated buses, such as public transit or school buses, often involve shorter notice deadlines and special procedural requirements compared to claims against private companies. Common causes of bus accidents include driver fatigue, distracted driving, poor vehicle maintenance, and inadequate training, and identifying the responsible party early is important to preserving your right to compensation.
