Understanding Your Rights After a Public Transportation Accident
Accidents involving public transportation in Glendale, AZ, whether on a Valley Metro bus, a paratransit vehicle, or at a transit stop, require prompt and precise legal action. Claims against government entities have shorter notice deadlines than standard personal injury cases. A qualified attorney ensures you meet every deadline and build the strongest possible case.
Legal Services Offered by Avian Law Group

Our attorneys are experienced with the procedural rules governing claims against government entities in Arizona, including the notice-of-claim requirements under ARS 12-821.01, and we pursue every avenue of compensation available to injured riders.
Assessment of Your Case
We act quickly to preserve bus surveillance footage, ridership records, maintenance logs, and accident reports that may be overwritten or destroyed. Our thorough investigation identifies all liable parties and establishes the full extent of your injuries and losses.
Navigating Government Claims

- Contingency Fees: You pay nothing unless we win, so cost is never a barrier to pursuing justice.
Local Impact of Public Transportation Accidents in Glendale
Valley Metro provides bus service throughout Glendale, with routes along major corridors including Glendale Avenue, Northern Avenue, 59th Avenue, and Camelback Road. These routes serve thousands of daily riders, including commuters, students, seniors, and individuals who rely on public transit as their primary means of transportation. Bus accidents in Glendale have included rear-end collisions at intersections, passenger falls caused by sudden stops, and incidents involving passengers boarding or alighting at stops. Paratransit vehicles operated by Valley Metro's Dial-a-Ride program also serve mobility-impaired residents throughout the city and have been involved in accidents caused by driver inattention and vehicle equipment failures. Government bus operators are generally held to a higher standard of care than private drivers because they are common carriers with a duty to ensure passenger safety. However, pursuing claims against Valley Metro and other government-operated transit systems requires meeting procedural requirements that do not apply to ordinary personal injury cases. Missing the 180-day notice-of-claim deadline in Arizona can permanently bar your right to recover. Avian Law Group acts with urgency to protect your rights from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Public Transportation Accidents
Under ARS 12-821.01, you must file a notice of claim with the responsible government entity within 180 days of the accident. Failure to file on time generally bars your personal injury claim entirely. Contact our office as soon as possible after a transit accident.
Yes, but government entities like Valley Metro have immunity protections that do not apply to private parties. These can be overcome when you establish that the transit agency acted with negligence. Our attorneys know how to build and present these cases effectively.
You may still have a claim. Transit agencies have a duty to maintain safe boarding environments. Slip-and-falls at stops, accidents caused by bus contact outside the vehicle, and crimes enabled by inadequate security may all give rise to recoverable claims.
Recoverable damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability. In cases of willful government misconduct, additional remedies may be available. Our attorneys evaluate your case thoroughly to identify every available form of compensation.
