Atlanta Bus Accident Lawyer | Georgia Auto Law— What You Need to Know

A Georgia bus accident lawyer represents passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers injured in collisions involving MARTA buses, school buses, private charter buses, and intercity coaches. Bus operators are held to a “common carrier” standard of care — the highest duty of care under Georgia law.

Bus accident claims in Georgia are uniquely complex because they often involve government entities with sovereign immunity protections. For MARTA and municipal bus accidents, Georgia’s ante-litem notice requirement (O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5) demands that you file a written claim within six months of the incident — far shorter than the standard two-year statute of limitations. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim.

As common carriers, bus companies owe passengers the highest degree of care and diligence. This means any failure to maintain vehicles, train drivers properly, or exercise extraordinary caution can establish liability. Bus accidents often cause injuries to multiple passengers simultaneously, creating complex multi-claimant scenarios that require experienced legal representation.

Georgia Auto Law investigates bus accidents by obtaining bus maintenance records, driver qualification files, onboard camera footage, and electronic data recorder information. Whether you were a bus passenger, a pedestrian struck by a bus, or a driver hit by a bus, our attorneys identify every liable party and pursue maximum compensation under Georgia’s comparative negligence framework.
