Bus accidents are rare, but when they do occur, the results can be tragic and painful. Unfortunately, due to poor weather conditions, dangerous roads, and the negligence of Houston METRO transit providers, bus accidents have become particularly common today.
Under Section 16.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code,A person who has suffered injuries from a motor vehicle accident may be prohibited from filing a claim for their injuries against the negligent driver after a specified period of time has passed. This time period, also known as the statute of limitations (SOL), prevents injured individuals from filing a lawsuit against the negligent party two years after the date of injury in Texas. Therefore, it is very important to contact a bus accident attorney as soon as possible after being involved in an accident, regardless of whether you were on a bus, a passenger in another vehicle, or a pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorcyclist.
