Bus Accident Injury Representation
Helping bus crash victims pursue full compensation.
Whether it’s a public transit line, school bus, or charter vehicle, bus accidents often leave victims with serious injuries and difficult questions. At William W. Green & Associates, we represent passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists hurt in bus-related crashes across California. We handle the legal complexity—so you can focus on recovery.
Bus crashes can involve multiple victims and layers of liability, from drivers to transit companies and government agencies.
Injuries may include head trauma, broken bones, spinal injuries, or emotional trauma—especially in rollover or rear-end crashes.
Public transit authorities often follow different legal rules and shorter filing deadlines under California law.
We guide clients through injury claims involving public or private buses with clarity, speed, and experienced legal support.
What to do after a bus accident in California.
Bus accidents are legally unique. Depending on who operates the vehicle, your case may involve public entities with strict notice deadlines or private companies with complex insurance coverage. Our firm investigates what happened, identifies all responsible parties, and builds a claim that accounts for your full losses—from medical bills to long-term recovery.

HOW WE WORK
Frequently Asked Questions About
Bus Accident Cases.
Bus accidents can be legally complex and emotionally overwhelming. Here are answers to common questions from injured passengers and families:
Who can I sue after a bus accident?
That depends on who operated the bus—public transit agency, school district, or a private company. You may have a claim against the driver, company, or other at-fault parties. We identify all sources of liability.
What if the accident involved public transportation?
Claims involving public buses often require filing a government notice within six months of the incident. Missing this deadline could prevent your case—so contact us as soon as possible.
What damages can I recover in a bus injury case?
You may be eligible for compensation covering medical costs, lost income, emotional distress, future care, and pain and suffering. We assess your full damages and fight for the maximum allowed under law.
Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt?
Possibly. Many buses are not equipped with seatbelts, and that does not automatically prevent a successful injury claim. Liability focuses on negligence and crash cause.
What does it cost to hire your firm?
We don’t charge upfront fees. You only pay if we win compensation for you. We also offer free consultations to explain your options clearly.
