Bus accidents in Houston involve public transit authorities, private charter companies, and school districts — each with different rules, insurance, and legal procedures. This guide helps victims navigate their options.
Public Transit (METRO) Accident Claims
Claims against METRO Houston require compliance with the Texas Tort Claims Act. Damages are capped for governmental entities, and specific notice procedures must be followed within strict deadlines.
Private Charter Bus Accidents
Private charter operators carry commercial insurance and must comply with FMCSA regulations. These cases do not have the same governmental immunity issues as public transit claims.
School Bus Accidents
School district bus accidents involve governmental entity procedures and educational code provisions. CDF Law understands all three tracks. Call (832) 945-1900.
