At Action Accident, we combine local knowledge of Orange County roads and transit systems with detailed accident investigation to establish fault and pursue the full compensation you deserve. We handle the legal matters so you can focus on healing.
Our firm works entirely on a contingency basis, which means you never pay anything upfront. As a trusted bus accident attorney that injured passengers, pedestrians, and drivers rely on, we cover the costs involved in your case, including attorney’s fees, case expenses, and coordination of medical bills and liens, so you are never asked to pay out of your own pocket. Everything is handled through a future settlement, allowing you to focus on healing while we fight to secure the compensation you deserve.
Bus accidents can leave you disoriented and overwhelmed - especially with multiple injured passengers, complex insurance issues, and transit agencies acting quickly to protect themselves. You may be unsure who is responsible, how medical bills will be paid, or what to do if injuries appear later.

Your health comes first. Even if you feel “okay,” get checked by emergency responders at the scene or at a hospital as soon as possible, because injuries like concussions, internal bleeding, or soft-tissue trauma can take hours or days to show up. Early documentation made through a timely medical examination can protect both your health and your legal claim.
First, check yourself and those around you for injuries. If no one has called yet, dial 911 and report the collision. Include the location, the number of people injured, and any urgent dangers, such as leaking fuel or a fire risk. If you are the driver of a car, a cyclist,or a pedestrian hit by a bus, insist that law enforcement come to the scene and prepare a crash report listing all vehicles and parties involved.
If it is safe and you are physically able, gather as much information as possible before vehicles are moved. This can include:
These facts can prove to be critical evidence later.
Insurance adjusters or transit company representatives may contact you quickly after a bus crash, asking for recorded statements or encouraging you to “just sign some forms.” It is best not to discuss fault, guess about what happened, or minimize your pain. Anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your settlement. You will be better off politely declining and directing all communication to your attorney.
As a passenger, you usually have a strong claim against the bus operator or company. Compensation may include medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
You have the option of pursuing compensation from the bus driver, the company, or any other at-fault party. An attorney can help identify all sources of recovery.
Many people feel fine at first, as adrenaline can mask pain and injury symptoms. However, symptoms often appear hours or days later. See a doctor promptly to document your injuries and protect your case.
Yes. Even if you are partly at fault, you may still be entitled to compensation. Consult an attorney before assuming otherwise.
Responsible parties may include the bus driver, company, public agency, other drivers, or parts manufacturers. A comprehensive investigation is key in serious cases.
Case timelines vary. Some resolve in months; others take longer if injuries are severe or liability is unclear. We prioritize your recovery and needs.
You pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we recover money for you, with our fee taken from your settlement or verdict.
