Bus and Public Transit Accidents in Indiana: Government Claims and Short Deadlines

City transit, school buses, charter and tour buses each present different liability and insurance questions.

Many Kinds of Bus Crashes

Government Defendants and the Tort Claims Act

When a public entity operates the bus, the Indiana Tort Claims Act applies, with notice deadlines as short as 180 days and damage caps.

Serious Injuries

Buses lack seatbelts for passengers and their size makes collisions severe for those in cars and on foot.

Act Quickly

Because deadlines are short, a free review soon after a bus crash protects your rights.
