Bus Accident
BUS ACCIDENT IN SAN FRANCISCO
Greaney v. San Francisco Municipal Railway Docket #CGC05443725
In California it is important to remember if you are hit by a bus or a car owned by a public entity, your statute of limitations is shorter than normal. You have six (6) months to file a claim with the public entity (city, county, transit district, state etc.) or you may lose significant rights.
In the case at hand Eamon Greaney was traveling east on Haight Street in San Francisco when he was rear-ended by a bus owned by the defendant San Francisco Municipal Railway. The jury awarded him $27,793.00.
Though more details could be laid out concerning the above case, the point needs to be made that the attorney representing Mr. Greaney was able to bring the case to trial because he must have protected the 6 month claim filing statute. There are some exceptions such as trying to file the claim late but one has to bring a motion before the court to get them to allow the claim to be filed late.
