Bus Accident cases in Dallas
Buses move thousands of people through Dallas every day — public transit along Preston Road, Northwest Highway, and Buckner Boulevard, school buses, and charter coaches on Interstate 35E, Interstate 30, US 75, and Interstate 635. When a bus crashes in Dallas County, injuries can involve passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians all at once.
Bus claims can be complicated — and in Texas the clock runs fast: a claim involving a public transit agency or school district generally requires formal notice within six months, and some city charters shorten that to 30-90 days. A participating Texas law firm may review your Dallas bus crash and explain the path that applies.

Why quick action matters in Texas
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters shorten that to 30–90 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
