Injured in a Bus Accident? You May Be Suing the Government.
Our 'Government Accountability' protocol is designed to navigate the complex rules and strict deadlines of claims against public entities.
No obligation • 100% confidential
The Bureaucratic Wall
When you're injured in an accident involving a city bus (like UTA), a school bus, or another public transit vehicle, you're not just dealing with an insurance company. You're up against a government entity. They are protected by a set of laws called 'sovereign immunity,' which makes suing them incredibly difficult. There are strict, short deadlines and specific procedures you must follow, or your case will be thrown out before it even starts.
"Missing the 'Notice of Claim' deadline can permanently bar you from recovering any compensation."
How to Pierce the Veil of Immunity
We discovered that while suing the government is hard, it's not impossible. The key is to act with extreme speed and precision. By filing a formal 'Notice of Claim' within the strict one-year deadline and meticulously following the procedures outlined in the Utah Governmental Immunity Act, we can break through the bureaucratic wall. We know the specific rules that apply to common carriers like bus lines and use them to build a case that the government's lawyers are forced to take seriously.
Our 'Government Accountability' Protocol
The 3-step process to successfully navigate claims against public transit.
Step 1: File Immediate Notice of Claim
We immediately file the legally required Notice of Claim with the correct government agency to protect your right to sue and meet the strict one-year deadline.
Step 2: Prove Common Carrier Negligence
We investigate to prove the bus operator or transit authority breached their heightened duty of care owed to passengers and the public.
Step 3: Navigate Governmental Immunity
We use our deep knowledge of the Utah Governmental Immunity Act to build a case that overcomes their special legal protections and pursues compensation.

Answering Your Bus Accidents Questions
If the bus is operated by a government entity like the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), you must file a formal 'Notice of Claim' within one year of the accident. This is a very strict deadline. For private bus companies, the standard four-year statute of limitations typically applies.
Our 'No Win, No Fee' Promise
You are going through enough financial stress. That's why we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay absolutely nothing upfront. We advance all the costs of building your case, and we only get paid if we successfully recover money for you. If we don't win, you don't owe us a dime. Please note that clients may be responsible for case costs and expenses regardless of the outcome.
