Bus accidents in Glendale can happen on any street, freeway, or transit route throughout the city. These crashes often result in serious injuries due to the massive size and weight of buses compared to passenger vehicles. Passengers on buses frequently lack seatbelts, and even a minor collision can cause them to be thrown around the interior or ejected from their seats.
Glendale’s busy streets and transit corridors create constant risks for bus passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers. The city is served by multiple transit agencies, including Glendale Beeline and Metro, along with numerous school buses and private charter services. When accidents occur, victims face complicated legal battles involving insurance companies, government agencies, and strict filing deadlines.
At Thompson Law, our Glendale bus accident lawyers understand the challenges victims face after these crashes. We fight for injured passengers, pedestrians, and drivers, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve while handling all the legal challenges on their behalf.

Insurance companies rarely offer fair settlements right away. They often downplay injuries, dispute liability, or pressure victims into accepting low offers before they understand the full extent of their damages. Our attorneys fight back.
We pursue compensation for all your financial losses, including medical expenses, hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, prescription medications, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and property damage. We work with medical and financial experts to document every dollar you’ve lost.
You deserve compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, scarring and disfigurement, and the psychological trauma caused by your accident. These damages can be substantial, especially in severe injury cases.
When a defendant’s conduct is especially reckless or malicious, California courts may award punitive damages to punish wrongdoers and deter similar behavior in the future.
Our legal team knows how to calculate the true value of your case and present compelling evidence to maximize your recovery.

You should seek medical attention right away, even if the accident occurred several days ago. Some injuries like concussions, internal bleeding, and soft tissue damage don’t always show immediate symptoms. A doctor can properly evaluate you and document when symptoms appeared, which helps establish the connection to your accident.
Yes. Your attorney will investigate to determine all parties who contributed to the accident. Even if another driver was primarily at fault, the bus driver or company may share liability for failing to avoid the collision or react properly. California’s comparative negligence rules allow you to recover compensation even when multiple parties share fault.
A denial doesn’t end your case. If a government claim is denied, you typically have six months to file a lawsuit in court. Our attorneys can review the denial, determine if it was proper, and advise you on the best way to proceed with litigation if necessary.
Most bus accident cases settle through negotiations before trial. However, if the insurance company or government entity refuses to offer fair compensation, we’re prepared to take your case to court. We’ll guide you through every step and prepare you for whatever happens.
Absolutely. Bus operators have a duty to provide safe conditions for passengers boarding, riding, and exiting their vehicles. Accidents during boarding or exiting can result from driver negligence, poor maintenance, or unsafe conditions at bus stops. You have the same rights as passengers injured during transit.
You can still recover compensation. California law recognizes the “eggshell plaintiff” doctrine, which means defendants must take victims as they find them. If the accident made a pre-existing condition worse, the responsible parties are liable for that aggravation, not just what a perfectly healthy person would have experienced.
Bus accident cases involve complex liability issues, multiple potential defendants, strict deadlines, and insurance companies with experienced legal teams. Without legal representation, you risk missing deadlines, accepting inadequate settlements, or losing access to critical evidence.
