About Our Metro Bus Accident Service

Metro bus accidents can cause serious injuries, emotional trauma, and financial strain. The Law Office of Jilber S. Jamgochyan represents victims of public transit and bus accidents throughout California, guiding clients through every step of the matter from initial investigation through resolution.

Because Metro bus accident claims typically involve public transit agencies (such as LA Metro), they are governed by the California Government Claims Act. The firm helps clients meet the procedural requirements of that statute, including the six-month administrative claim filing deadline under Government Code Section 911.2, and pursues the categories of damages available under California law for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other harms.

Whether the collision results from driver negligence, mechanical issues, or maintenance failures, the firm advocates for the client and pursues the remedies available under California law.

Our Metro Bus Accident Claim Process

The firm’s four-step approach is designed to handle each Metro bus accident matter efficiently and transparently, with attention to the procedural requirements that apply to claims against public transit agencies.

Step 1

Free Consultation and Case Evaluation

The firm begins with a free consultation to review the accident, injuries, and the client’s goals. Attorney Jamgochyan reviews medical records and accident reports and explains the legal options available, including the procedural requirements that apply to claims against public transit agencies.

Step 2

Developing Your Legal Strategy

Once the firm understands the facts of the matter, the firm builds a case strategy tailored to the specific circumstances. This includes preserving evidence, identifying potentially liable parties (which may include the public transit agency, contractors, and others), and outlining the procedural steps required under the California Government Claims Act.

Step 3

Negotiation and Settlement

The firm engages in negotiation with the public transit agency, its claims administrators, and other potentially responsible parties to pursue a fair resolution under California law. When negotiations do not produce a fair outcome based on the facts, the firm is prepared to litigate the matter in court.

Step 4

Resolution and Client Support

Once a matter is resolved, the firm coordinates disbursement of any recovery, the payment of medical liens, and any other post-resolution items, and remains available to address client questions about the closing of the matter.

Jamgochyan brings more than three decades of California personal injury experience, a client-centered approach, direct attorney-client communication, and bilingual service in English, Armenian, and Turkish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers to common questions about Metro bus accident claims.

We handle collisions caused by driver negligence, mechanical failures, rear-end crashes, and overturns. Whether it’s serious bodily injury or wrongful death, we design strategies to recover medical bills, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering.

Yes, many bus accident claims resolve through negotiation or mediation, without the time and expense of trial. Most of my clients prefer that their claims resolve quickly and without the need to file a lawsuit. I am always sensitive to my clients’ wishes and do my best to resolve their claims quickly and amicably. This requires the cooperation of the adverse parties and/or their insurance carriers. Sometimes, the filing of a lawsuit may be necessary because of the lack of cooperation from the other party and/or their insurance carrier. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. In the event we are unable to reach a fair and reasonable settlement, and settlement negotiations fail or break down, a lawsuit will be filed, and your claim will be in litigation. While your claim may be resolved after the filing of a lawsuit, in some cases your claim may have to go to trial.

Resolution timelines vary based on injury severity, evidence gathering, and insurance processes. Some claims settle within a few months; complex cases can take longer. We keep you informed every step of the way.

When negotiations do not produce a fair outcome based on the facts, the firm is prepared to file suit and litigate the matter. Attorney Jamgochyan advocates for the client at every stage through trial.

Yes. Most Metro and public transit buses in California are operated by public entities, which means claims for personal injury must be filed with the agency within six months of the accident under the California Government Claims Act (Government Code Section 911.2). This deadline is much shorter than the general two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, and missing it can bar recovery. The firm encourages anyone injured in a Metro or public transit bus accident to contact an attorney promptly.
