Types of Bus Accident Cases
Our firm handles all types of bus accident claims, including SEPTA and public transit accidents, NJ Transit bus accidents, school bus accidents, charter and tour bus crashes, Greyhound and intercity bus accidents, church and organization bus accidents, airport shuttle accidents, and party bus and limousine accidents.
Government Immunity and Notice Requirements
Claims against government-operated transit systems like SEPTA and NJ Transit involve special rules. In Pennsylvania, claims against government agencies require notice within six months. In New Jersey, tort claims against public entities require a 90-day notice. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim. Our attorneys ensure all notice requirements are met.
Common Carrier Liability
Bus companies are classified as common carriers and owe their passengers the highest duty of care. This heightened standard means bus operators must exercise extraordinary diligence to protect passenger safety, making it easier to establish liability in bus accident cases.
