Our wrongful death lawyers can assist you if your family member passed away because of a bus accident injury. We know money cannot bring back what you have lost, but it can offer your family financial protection.
The Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) operates several public transportation services in Denton County. These services include the Connect Bus in the City of Denton and the North Texas Xpress, which connects Denton to Fort Worth.
If a DCTA bus was involved in your crash, the DCTA may be responsible for your injuries and damages. The DCTA is a government entity, and claims involving government entities fall under the Texas Tort Claims Act (TTCA).
The TTCA strictly limits your time to file a case against the government. You may have months, not years, to initiate legal action. Our Denton bus wreck attorneys can tell you more about deadlines and help you get started.
We can also handle cases involving private bus lines, such as Greyhound.
Buses are common carriers under state law. This designation means bus drivers must follow special rules and regulations laid out by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These rules hold them to a higher standard for safety than average drivers.
For example, bus drivers must have a commercial driver’s license, submit to alcohol and drug testing, and inspect their vehicles.
When drivers (and their employers) fail to uphold FMCSA rules or disobey the rules of the road, they can be held liable for crashes. Our Denton attorney can help you build a case proving a bus driver was at fault for the collision.
Bus accident claims can be challenging. They often involve multiple liable parties, government entities, short deadlines, and legal guidelines specific to these types of cases. Our Denton bus crash attorneys can help you navigate these complexities.
