Long Beach Bus Accident Lawyer
Long Beach Transit buses, along with school, charter, and tour buses, carry riders across the city daily. When a bus crash causes injury, the claim rules are unusual — and we handle Long Beach bus accident cases from start to finish.
Where Long Beach bus crashes happen
Bus crashes here involve Long Beach Transit routes and private buses along the 405, 710, and 605 and busy corridors like Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach Boulevard, and Anaheim Street. 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 government-claim deadline — often about six months in California — applies before you can sue, so these cases need fast action.

Frequently asked questions
The bus was a Long Beach Transit bus — is the deadline different?
Yes. When a public transit agency is involved, a much shorter deadline — often about six months to file a government claim — applies. 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.
