Bus Accident Lawyers in Folsom and Orange County, CA
Legal Services for Clients Statewide
Bus accidents can have devastating consequences for passengers, drivers, and bystanders. Due to their size and weight, buses often cause severe injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, catastrophic injuries, and even fatalities. Victims may face extensive medical treatment, long recovery times, lost income, and emotional trauma. Families can also be affected, as they manage care for injured loved ones while navigating mounting financial pressures.
Unlike standard car accidents, bus accidents involve larger vehicles carrying more passengers and presenting more complex dynamics. The size and momentum of buses increase the risk of multi-vehicle collisions and rollover incidents. Additionally, the number of injured parties often complicates the investigation, claims process, and potential liability determinations.
Due to their complexity, bus accident claims require the services of an experienced personal injury firm. At Shaaban & Biedgoly, we put our litigation experience resolving high-stakes claims involving both victims and defendants to work for you.

The Complexity of Bus Accident Claims
California bus accident claims are significantly more complex than standard car accident claims, primarily due to issues related to liability, legal standards, and filing deadlines.
Liability Against Government Entities
Many California bus lines (city, regional, and school) are public entities, which trigger special and strict legal rules:
- California Tort Claims Act (CTCA) - To sue a government entity, you must first file a formal legal claim, not a lawsuit.
- Extremely short deadline - The deadline to file this formal claim is typically only six months from the date of the accident.
- Forfeiture risk - Missing this six-month deadline usually permanently forfeits the right to sue, even if the injuries are severe (unlike the standard two-year deadline for private car accidents).
