What Our Clients Say
Time Matters After a Metra Transit System Bus Hits You
Immediately after a bus, car accident, or any motor vehicle accident, for that matter, the clock starts ticking for accident victims. Evidence that isn’t collected right away could degrade forever, and a failure to report the crash could derail any future personal injury claim entirely. To ensure everything is handled effectively and quickly, it’s paramount that you take the following steps:
- Report the accident to the police immediately
- Document any evidence at the scene if you are able to
- Get medical care at the scene or go to the hospital ASAP when leaving the crash scene
- Contact a Columbus personal injury lawyer
If your car accident involved the Metra Transit System or another mass transit system like Dial-A-Ride, then it’s even more important to act fast. Delaying legal action could clear the bus driver or any other responsible parties. When a government agency is involved, the statute of limitations is shortened to only 12 months.
Not taking prompt action can also impact your entire case, making it harder to prove bus driver negligence or collect evidence to show what actually happened. Evidence is often time-sensitive, so an investigation needs to be launched right away after the incident. Since you’ll likely be busy getting medical care, let the authorities handle the initial investigative steps. Then, a lawyer can help you piece together the police report, discover newfound sources of evidence, and investigate the accident further.
Don't wait, call us now at (678) 603-1119 to schedule a free case review with our experienced personal injury attorney to determine your options and next steps after a crash.

Build A Powerful Bus Accident Case with Expert Testimony
In one recent accident, a truck crashed into a school bus on Mooty Bridge Road at an intersection. Unfortunately, the truck driver, a bus monitor, and seven students were injured. In similar situations, families would want to hire a specialized attorney to determine their options. A bus accident attorney can help determine who might be liable between the bus driver, truck driver, or other parties.
One step our firm takes in these situations to maximize your settlement award and odds of winning is using expert witnesses, testimony, and resources to strengthen your case. We have close working relationships with medical expert witnesses, car accident reconstructionists, and other individuals who can provide critical evidence for your claim. The use of these experts also makes it easier for you to prove what caused the accident and secure punitive damages. While punitive damages are rare, juries and judges both tend to trust and heavily consider expert testimony and analysis.
