Experienced Representation for Glendale Bus Accident Victims

Bus accident claims are often more complicated than standard car accident cases. Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties may be responsible, including:

  • Bus drivers
  • Private bus companies
  • Charter bus operators
  • School districts
  • Maintenance contractors
  • Government transit agencies
  • Other negligent drivers

 

Because buses often involve common carrier duties and, in some cases, government entities, strict procedural rules and filing deadlines may apply. Bus accident lawyers consistently emphasize the complexity of identifying liable parties and navigating claims involving public transit systems.

At Law Desai, we investigate every aspect of the crash and work to identify all available sources of compensation.

Why Bus Accident Cases Are Different

Unlike typical passenger vehicle accidents, bus accidents frequently involve:

Cases involving city-operated or government-owned buses often require special claim procedures and shorter filing deadlines than ordinary personal injury lawsuits.

Our legal team understands these complexities and works quickly to preserve evidence and protect our clients’ rights.

Common Causes of Bus Accidents

Bus accidents can occur for many reasons, including:

Driver Negligence

Bus drivers may cause accidents through:

  • Distracted driving
  • Fatigue
  • Speeding
  • Reckless driving
  • Failure to yield
  • Inadequate training

Mechanical Failures

Poor maintenance can contribute to:

  • Brake failures
  • Tire blowouts
  • Steering problems
  • Defective safety systems

Bus Company Negligence

Transportation companies may be liable for:

  • Negligent hiring
  • Inadequate driver training
  • Poor vehicle maintenance
  • Safety violations
  • Failure to follow regulations

Dangerous Road Conditions

Poorly maintained roads, construction zones, and hazardous traffic conditions may contribute to bus crashes.

Types of Bus Accidents We Handle

Public Transit Bus Accidents

Claims involving municipal and government-operated transit systems often involve unique legal requirements and shorter claim deadlines.

School Bus Accidents

Children, parents, pedestrians, and other motorists may suffer injuries in school bus collisions.

Charter Bus Accidents

Private tour buses and charter operators may be liable when negligence causes injuries to passengers or others.

Shuttle Bus Accidents

Airport shuttles, hotel shuttles, and employee transportation services may create liability for both drivers and operating companies.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Bus Accidents

Bus accidents frequently involve pedestrians and cyclists near bus stops, intersections, and busy urban roadways.

Injuries Commonly Caused by Bus Accidents

Due to their size and weight, buses often cause severe injuries.

Common injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Internal injuries
  • Severe lacerations
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Permanent disabilities
  • Wrongful death

 

Bus accident victims often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care.

Compensation Available in a Bus Accident Claim

Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include:

  • Emergency medical expenses
  • Hospital bills
  • Future medical treatment
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent disability damages
  • Property damage
  • Wrongful death damages

 

Bus accident claims often involve substantial damages due to the severity of injuries and long-term recovery needs.

How We Build Strong Bus Accident Cases

Successful bus accident claims require extensive investigation and evidence gathering.

Our legal team may obtain:

  • Police reports
  • Driver logs and records
  • Bus maintenance records
  • Surveillance footage
  • Transit agency records
  • Witness statements
  • Vehicle inspection reports
  • Medical records
  • Expert testimony
  • Accident reconstruction analysis

 

We work to identify every liable party and every available source of compensation.

Important Deadlines in Bus Accident Cases

If a government-operated bus was involved, special claim procedures may apply.

In many cases involving public entities, injured victims may have significantly less time to preserve their rights than in ordinary personal injury claims. Missing these deadlines can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation.

Speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after a bus accident can help protect your claim.

As a former prosecutor who worked opposite Anand Desai in numerous serious and violent felony trials, I can say without hesitation that Anand is one of the most skilled trial attorneys I’ve encountered in the courtroom. Anand was a public defender at the time, and I witnessed firsthand his unwavering dedication to his clients, his command of the law, and his poise under pressure. He consistently demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and exceptional advocacy skills—even in the most high-stakes cases. What stood out most was Anand’s ability to connect with a jury. He was articulate, strategic, and always meticulously prepared. It was clear that he had earned the trust of his clients, the respect of judges, and the attention of every prosecutor who went up against him. Now that he’s in private practice, I have no doubt he brings that same energy, skill, and commitment to every personal injury client he represents. If I had a family member who needed a fierce and honest advocate, I’d send them to Anand Desai. — Ted Swanson, Former Deputy District Attorney

These guys are absolutely the best. They aren’t like a lot of other firms that do not care about their clients. These guys absolutely do care and I’ve experienced it first hand. I had Anand Calling me on my case even when he was on an international family trip when it was the middle of the night for him! I don’t know anyone that goes out of their way to do what Anand and his team did me for.

I was involved in a car accident. The other insurance was offering very little money. I felt confused and lost so l was about to accept their offer until I found Anand Desai. They contacted me almost immediately and after listening to what I had gone through they took my case and I was then relieved. They took care of everything and I received a settlement a few months later. I want to thank the whole team for making that happen. I would definitely refer a friend to them. Thank you!!
