What special rules apply if I am injured in an accident involving a Miami-Dade Transit bus?

Claims involving government-operated transit like Miami-Dade Transit are governed by Florida's sovereign immunity law under Florida Statute § 768.28. Pursuing a claim requires following strict statutory procedures: 1. Provide formal written notice of the claim to the municipal entity and the Florida Department of Financial Services. 2. Allow the mandatory six-month administrative investigative period to run before filing a lawsuit in court. 3. Comply with statutory liability caps, which limit recovery against government agencies to $200,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence. Jeffrey S. Altman and The Altman Law Firm assist injured victims in navigating these complex municipal requirements.
