When Can a Bus Accident Lawyer Help You?

For example, our team can help with collisions involving:

Do You Qualify for a Bus Accident Claim?

Generally, bus accident victims can file a legal claim or lawsuit after a wreck if someone else caused the collision through negligence. The victim in a bus accident claim for negligence must show that the following elements are true:

1. The bus driver or bus driver’s employer owed the victim a duty of care.
2. The bus driver or bus driver’s employer breached that duty of care to the victim.
3. The victim sustained an injury of the kind for which they can receive compensation.
4. The victim’s injury was caused by the bus driver or bus driver’s employer.

Since the bus driver was likely working for their employer during the crash, the doctrine of respondeat superior may apply. Under respondeat superior, the employer must take responsibility for the employee’s negligence since the employee acted on the employer’s behalf when they committed a negligent act or omission.

The bus company may hold liability if it fails to look into the bus driver’s background or qualifications, or the employer might have done a poor job training the bus driver. Even under respondeat superior, the victim must show that the employer’s negligence met all the elements mentioned above.

What Compensation do You Get After a Bus Accident?

An Aurora bus accident attorney can help you seek maximum compensation through a personal injury claim after a collision. The facts surrounding your accident determine the kind of compensation you receive, which may cover your:

Medical Care

Bus wrecks can cause spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), broken bones, burns, and other serious injuries. The at-fault party may have to cover your emergency medical care, time in the hospital, surgeries, and other medical procedures.

If you sustained any injuries in the wreck, make sure that you seek prompt healthcare treatment and reach out to an experienced attorney for further advice.

Property Damage

Insurance companies may have to cover any property damage caused by the bus wreck. For example, if a bus driver strikes your vehicle, the company may have to cover repairs or replacement costs if a bus driver hits your vehicle. The legal process may also cover damage to your electronic devices if it happened during the wreck.

Lost Wages

Our legal team can help you secure funds to cover any time you missed at work while recovering from your injuries. You may receive damages for any bonuses or raises you lost in the aftermath of an Aurora bus accident.

Diminished Earning Potential

Your collision may leave you with long-term health issues that prevent you from returning to work. In this situation, you may receive funds for your lost earning potential with help from a lawyer in Aurora.

Pain and Suffering

Finally, negligent parties may have to cover any emotional pain and mental anguish you experience after a wreck with a transit, city, or school bus. We understand the impact of these accidents on all aspects of your life and stand ready to represent you.

What Should You Do After a Bus Wreck?

It is fair for you to assume that bus drivers, who must attain a commercial vehicle license to drive, should be held to a higher standard of care than the average driver on the road. The unfortunate reality is that bus drivers can make the same mistakes as those other drivers, leading to collisions.

After a wreck, you can take immediate steps to build your claim. Before leaving the accident scene, make sure that you:

Get pictures of your injuries, the accident scene, and any potential damage to your vehicle
Get contact information from witnesses
Speak with the negligent bus driver
Contact the police and file an accident report
Speak to a bus accident lawyer

Taking these steps can put you on the right footing to secure compensation for severe injuries and other expenses caused by a bus accident. You can also research bus accidents to learn more about your situation.

Alexandria

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Ben Abbas and Neil Solomon. Since my fiance was hit by an 18-wheeler nearly lost his life and now struggles with persistent pain and has to use a cane on top of a litany of other health issues as a result of the accident, Ben and Neil fought hard on my fiance's case because it was a very complex case involving multiple parties. But not only did they fight hard for us on my fiance's case, when the man of the house and the breadwinner is unable to even walk without a walker for a little over a year and has had to spend two years fighting for disability, and as I've been supporting my fiance because that's what you do when you're loyal to who you love but it's difficult when you lose the breadwinner and they're not able to work, Ben and Neil helped us navigate the legal loan process and they have been instrumental in keeping us afloat. They always respond quickly often within a few minutes and get the paperwork processed almost every single time in the same day. We would have lost everything if it wasn't for them. We are so grateful for them and everything they have done for us. There are something like real life superheroes and if you're looking for a law firm from any kind of injury or accident, we strongly recommend them and Zinda Law Group. Because I can almost guarantee nobody will work harder for you than they will

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words. It's our mission to provide exceptional legal representation to our clients, and we're thrilled to hear that we were able to make a positive impact on your lives.
