Bus accidents involving city buses or school district vehicles are more challenging. Arizona law demands a formal claim notice within 180 days of the incident. Missing the deadline may forfeit your compensation claim.
More red tape for government claims. Some injury claims have lower damage caps and additional bureaucratic steps. Municipalities and government institutions have legal teams to reject liability and reduce settlements.

Time matters when filing a claim for a bus accident in Arizona. You have two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit for most personal injury claims. If the collision involves a city bus or school district vehicle, the time limit is even shorter.
These government-related instances require a formal notice of claim within 180 days of the accident. Additionally, the lawsuit must be filed within a year.
You must act swiftly since evidence fades and legal deadlines are strict. Our experienced lawyers in Chandler, specializing in bus accidents, can help you file your claim correctly and on time.

When a bus accident happens in Chandler, local traffic laws and city ordinances can be a big factor in who’s at fault. These local rules cover everything from speed limits and school zone safety to bus stop placement and traffic signal timing. Violating any of these ordinances can be negligence on the part of a driver, transit operator, or even a government agency.
For example, if a city bus doesn’t yield at a crosswalk or a school bus doesn’t follow protocols in a school zone, those violations can directly impact liability. And if Chandler’s roads or traffic control systems contributed to the accident, the city itself may be partially to blame.
At Thompson Law, we know Chandler’s local traffic laws and how they apply to bus accidents. We use that knowledge to find violations, hold the negligent parties accountable, and strengthen your case.

Mechanical failures, inappropriate lane changes, failure to yield, speeding, distracted driving, and driver weariness. Sometimes, bad weather or road conditions could also play a role. Knowing the reason is essential to determining who is to blame and developing a solid case.
Certainly, you can. You can still have a legitimate damage claim even if you were standing or tossed at a rapid halt.
Should the bus driver not be at fault, other entities, such as another careless driver, the bus company, or a car manufacturer, can be held liable. You need a comprehensive investigation to find every conceivable blame source and guarantee complete reimbursement.
Perhaps. Especially public and school buses, most buses don’t need seatbelts. Not wearing a seatbelt could have some impact on your situation, but it does not directly stop your recovery. You can still pursue a claim for your injuries under Arizona’s comparative negligence statutes.
