When a bus gets in an accident, the forces involved are much greater than regular automobile accidents. People also don’t wear seat belts in buses operated by the Utah Transit Authority, causing more potential for injuries.
As a general rule, in most car accidents or private bus companies, the injured party has four years to file their bodily injury claim or forever lose that claim. You should immediately consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to preserve your legal claim under the shortened statute of limitations that applies to government bus accidents. The shortened statute of limitation can also apply to city state or county workers who are driving government cars or trucks.
