In 2005, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) was judged to be America’s Best Public Transportation System by the American Public Transportation Association. Even with such accolades, like every public transit system, there have been catastrophic accidents. In recent years, a growing number of OCTA buses have been involved in accidents with cars.
The Orange County OCTA bus accident attorneys at Greene, Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, represent people hurt in bus crashes throughout the Southern California region. We also represent injured tourists and families who have lost a loved one in a fatal OCTA bus accident.
If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in an OCTA bus accident, contact us for a free consultation. We take cases in Orange County, Lakewood, the Greater Los Angeles Area, and beyond.
Our success in bus accident cases is due, in part, to our extensive investigative resources and to our understanding of local bus company policies and procedures. In 2007, OCTA began putting video cameras in buses, as well as GPS to record bus positioning. Our in-house investigative team knows how to obtain and preserve this evidence for later use in trial.
At Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP team of in-house investigators will study the onboard video, examine the accident scene, and interview witnesses to determine how the accident occurred. We then put together a compelling presentation of the evidence that allows a jury to understand how the injuries occurred and the impact that these injuries will have on the life of our client.
If you were injured because an OCTA bus driver was negligent, we will aggressively seek compensation on your behalf. We understand the special challenges of bringing a case against a government entity. If the accident was caused by another driver who hit the OCTA bus, we can seek compensation from that driver’s insurance company as well.
