Filing a bus accident claim against a school district is taking legal action against the government. As a result, you need to familiarize yourself with special rules that apply when seeking compensation.
For instance, if you suffer injuries in an accident involving a school bus or city bus, the below rules often apply:
Government entities like school districts or public transit agencies are held liable for the employee’s negligence.
Based on the government entity responsible for the crash, you must file a bus accident claim with the city or county, including the Office of Risk and Insurance Management, a section of the California Department of General Services.
You must file your bus accident claim within six months of the accident.
When seeking financial recovery against a school district or government agency, you may consider filing a lawsuit to recover damages.
