In general, who is liable for your damages depends greatly on who operated the bus involved. However, there are also vicarious liability and qualified and limited liability laws in play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vicarious liability allows us to hold the company or agency who employs the at-fault bus driver liable, instead of filing suit against the individual. Qualified and limited liability laws mean your Greenville bus accident lawyer has to follow a special process to hold a government agency liable and collect compensation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Accidents Involving Greenlink<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenlink provides public transit services for Greenville County. The City of Greenville operates these buses, under the oversight of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridegreenlink.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenville Transit Authority<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It also operates <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvillesc.gov\/603\/Riding-GAP\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenville Area Paratransit (GAP)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for riders with disabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenville Transit Authority and the City of Greenville may be liable when:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An accident occurred while you rode Greenlink or GAP.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Greenlink or GAP bus hit your vehicle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Greenlink or GAP bus hit you while you crossed the road.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Greenville School Bus Accidents<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, school bus accidents caused by a negligent bus driver work in the same way Greenlink crash cases do. We must meet strict deadlines to notify the Greenville County School District or another local school district of the accident and follow a specific administrative process to recover compensation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the rare occasion the bus is from a private school, it is not necessary to follow these strict procedures. Whichever type of case yours is, Our bus accident lawyers in Greenville are prepared to handle it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Greenville Accidents With a Privately Owned Bus<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vicarious liability allows us to file an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit against the bus owner or the company who employs the bus driver if the driver of a privately owned coach or bus causes your accident. The statute of limitations on this type of lawsuit is three years, meaning we have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against the bus company.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"second_cta\"><div class=\"cta-inner\"><p>Our Goal Is To Get You The Most Money \u2013 FAST! <\/p><a href=\"tel:864-407-4000\"> 864-407-4000 <\/a><\/div><\/div><h2><b>Understanding the Greenville, SC, Bus Accident Claims Process<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a part of handling your Greenville bus accident case, we will identify:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The negligent party<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What caused the crash<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How the at-fault driver\u2019s action or inaction led to your injuries<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only once we know these answers can we determine how to approach your case.

However, the law also requires us to follow a very strict process to notify the agency and try to reach a settlement before taking legal action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know how to navigate this process, meeting all deadlines and administrative protocol, and protecting your right to compensation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"third_cta\"><div class=\"cta-inner\"><p>Our Firm Stands Apart From The Rest Because We Make Clients Our Priority. <\/p><a class=\"cta-btn\" href=\"tel:864-407-4000\"> Give Us A Call \u00bb <\/a><\/div><\/div><h2><b>Talk to a Bus Accident Lawyer in Greenville, SC<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At George Sink Injury Lawyers, our personal injury team knows what it takes to win a Greenville bus accident case.
