Bus Accident Claims in Colorado: RTD, School, and Charter

When a public or private bus crash injures you, special rules and short deadlines apply.

Public Transit Claims

Crashes involving RTD or other public bus systems trigger the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, which often requires notice within 182 days. Missing that deadline can end your claim.

School Bus Injuries

Children injured on or by school buses have rights, and districts carry insurance for these incidents. Prompt action preserves evidence.

Private and Charter Buses

Private operators follow standard liability rules and typically carry substantial insurance. Identifying every responsible party maximizes recovery.

Multiple Victims, One Crash

Bus crashes often injure many people at once, which can strain available coverage. Acting quickly protects your share.
