Bus Accident cases in Tempe
Buses move thousands of people through Tempe every day — public transit along Mill Avenue, Rural Road, and Apache Boulevard, school buses, and the shuttles that come with ASU campus traffic and some of the Valley's densest commuter corridors. When a bus crashes in Maricopa County, injuries can involve passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians all at once.
Bus claims can be complicated — and in Arizona the stakes are higher: a claim involving a public transit agency or school district generally requires a notice of claim within 180 days. A participating Arizona law firm may review your Tempe bus crash and explain the path that applies.

Why quick action matters in Arizona
Arizona generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines apply to claims involving a public entity — a formal notice of claim is generally required within 180 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
