Bus Accidents

SEPTA is the search

People search “can I sue SEPTA,” a fall when the bus braked, a crash between a bus and a car, and the damage cap. On October 1, 2026, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld the $250,000 sovereign-immunity cap for a Commonwealth agency in Freilich, a Philadelphia pedestrian case against SEPTA. School buses, city vehicles, and private coach companies are not all under that same cap. The operator is the fact that sorts the referral.

Notice deadlines for government defendants are shorter than the two years people expect from a private crash. Say who operated the bus and the date.

Passengers and other drivers

A passenger, a person in another car, and a pedestrian are three different claims. Send which one you are, the route if you know it, and the hospital.

Nothing on this page is a prediction of what a case is worth, and it is not legal advice. A message asks the desk to review the facts and refer them.

What to send

Bus crashes, including SEPTA and school buses. Government vehicles can have shorter deadlines, so say who operated the bus.

The useful first facts are the place, the date, the court if there is one, and what happened. Records can wait until a lawyer asks for them.

How a referral works

A message asks the desk to read the facts and refer them to a lawyer who handles this work. It does not hire that lawyer, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

The lawyer who receives the introduction decides whether to take the matter and talks with you about deadlines and fees.
