Tucson Bus Accident Lawyer
Tucson's Sun Tran buses and Sun Link streetcar, plus school, charter, and tour buses, carry riders across the metro daily. When a bus crash causes injury, the claim rules are unusual — and we handle Tucson bus accident cases from start to finish.
Where Tucson bus crashes happen
Bus crashes here involve Sun Tran routes and private buses along I-10 and I-19 and busy corridors like Speedway, Grant, and Broadway Boulevards. Passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers can all be hurt.
A heightened duty — and a short deadline
Buses are common carriers, held to a heightened duty of care for passengers. When a public transit agency is involved, a much shorter notice-of-claim deadline — often about 180 days in Arizona — applies before you can sue, so these cases need fast action.

Frequently asked questions
The bus was a Sun Tran bus — is the deadline different?
Yes. When a public transit agency is involved, a much shorter notice deadline — often about 180 days in Arizona — applies before you can sue. Missing it can end the claim, so act quickly.
I was a passenger on the bus. Do I have a claim?
Often, yes. Buses owe passengers a heightened duty of care, and if a crash hurt you — whether the bus driver or another driver was at fault — you may be able to recover.
