Leading Bus Accident Attorneys in San Francisco

Helping the Victims of Bus Accidents Throughout California

With millions of people using public transit, it's not surprising that injuries sometimes occur. But was the injury really an unavoidable accident? Or was it the result of negligence that could have been prevented if someone had taken reasonable care? This is the question that needs to be answered in any personal injury claim or lawsuit.

Bus accident lawyers at Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, have extensive trial experience representing people who have suffered serious injuries or the loss of a loved one in a fatal bus crash.

In Serious Injury Cases, Experience Matters

Our advanced use of courtroom technology and electronic case presentation allows us to get the results our clients need by allowing juries to see and understand a great deal of evidence in a short period of time. With technology, we can clarify complexities, highlight inconsistencies in testimony, and present information to the jury that leads to larger settlements and verdicts for our clients.

Bringing Cases Against Private Bus Companies or Government Agencies

Buses can be operated by a private company or public transit operated by a municipality (San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency (SFMTA) or MUNI). The owner-operator of the bus will make a difference in how your case is handled. Cases against a government agency are subject to a much shorter statute of limitation. You must bring a claim within six (6) months, rather than the more typical two years for a private company.

Our personal injury attorneys have handled bus accident cases involving both public and privately owned buses so we have experience to help you and your family if the accident involved an AC Transit, a greyhound bus, a California tour bus or a San Francisco city bus.

Bus riders, pedestrians and bike riders are those most frequently injured by buses. Bus riders are most often injured when the bus itself is involved in a crash. Although its size provides some protection, should a bus overturn, there is little to safeguard the bus passenger.

We work with skilled accident investigators, accident reconstructions and other specialists when needed to identify how the bus accident and injuries occurred.
