Bus Accidents in California

Thousands of Californians ride buses every day to get to and from work and other important destinations. When a passenger boards a bus, they trust that they will arrive at their destination safely.

Many factors can contribute to a bus accident. Since private companies or public systems usually own buses, insurance and liability can become complex.
