Buses move through Johns Creek every day, from the school buses carrying children across Fulton County to the charter and tour buses on the highways and the shuttle vehicles serving offices and events. A bus carries many passengers and has no seatbelts for most of them, so a single crash can injure a large number of people at once. At Howe.Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we represent passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists hurt in bus crashes across the Johns Creek area.
The type of bus decides the rules of your claim
Who operated the bus changes everything about the case. A public transit bus or a school bus is run by a governmental entity, which triggers strict notice rules described below. A private charter or tour bus company is a common carrier that owes its passengers a high duty of care and usually carries large insurance policies. We identify the operator immediately, because it determines the deadline, the procedure, and where the recovery comes from.
Georgia's ante litem notice and the short deadline for a government bus
When a government-operated bus is involved, Georgia law requires an ante litem notice, a formal written notice of your claim, before you can sue, and the deadline is much shorter than the ordinary two years. A claim against a city must give notice within six months under O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5, and a claim against a county within twelve months under O.C.G.A. § 36-11-1. Missing that notice can bar an otherwise valid claim, which is why identifying a government operator early is critical.
Georgia's fifty percent rule
Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, you recover nothing if you are found fifty percent or more at fault, and your recovery is reduced by your share below that line. In a bus crash the fault may lie with the bus driver, the company that employed and trained the driver, another motorist, or a maintenance failure. We build the case on the physical evidence and the operator's records so fault is assigned accurately.
Serving injured bus passengers across north Fulton and beyond
Our team handles bus crash claims throughout the Johns Creek area, across Fulton, Gwinnett, and Forsyth counties. We serve people hurt in Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Roswell, Duluth, Suwanee, Peachtree Corners, Cumming, Lawrenceville, Norcross, and Sandy Springs.
Reports, evidence, and filing your case
A bus crash inside the city is investigated by the Johns Creek Police Department, one in the unincorporated county by the Fulton County Police Department, and one on GA-400 by the Georgia State Patrol. We preserve the onboard camera footage and the company's records, obtain your medical records, and when a fair settlement cannot be reached, we file your lawsuit in Fulton County State Court, with high-value claims heard in Fulton County Superior Court.
Speak with a Johns Creek bus accident attorney
Bus crashes involve big operators, big insurers, and sometimes a public agency with a short notice deadline, so there is no time to waste. Call (844) 876-4357 for a free consultation. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you owe no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.
Common questions
The crash involved a school bus. Are the rules different?
Yes. A school or public bus is operated by a governmental entity, which requires an ante litem notice on a short deadline before you can sue. We identify the operator quickly and serve the required notice so your claim is protected, and we pursue any private party whose fault contributed.
How soon do I have to act if a government bus was involved?
Much sooner than the ordinary two years. A claim against a city requires notice within six months and against a county within twelve months. Because these deadlines are so short, it is important to contact a lawyer right away after a crash involving a public or school bus.
I was a passenger on a tour bus that crashed. Who is responsible?
A charter or tour bus company is a common carrier that owes passengers a high duty of care, and it can be liable for its driver's negligence, poor maintenance, or inadequate training. These companies usually carry large insurance policies, and we pursue the full coverage available to you.
Cases We Handle
We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.
