What to do if you’re in a city bus accident

Steps to follow right after the city bus accident has happened

Get medical help and gather all your hospital bills: Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. If you’re injured, please seek medical attention as soon as possible. Do not forget to bring together your medical evaluation, medical bills, and any relevant document that could be useful for your case.

Collect evidence of the accident: The bus driver or any other at-fault parties might be a key factor in winning your case if you can gather evidence demonstrating that they were negligent. Evidence of the accident can be photos of the damages, road conditions at the time of the accident, and, if any, a police report.

The process of filing a bus accident lawsuit

In order to build a successful case and get the right city bus accident settlement for your damages, it is important to follow these advices :

Keep an eye out for the claim filing deadline: If you want to get compensation through the law, you have to file suit within the time limit set by state law. Otherwise, you lose your right to any city bus accident settlement.

Speak with bus accident lawyers before going to court: If you don’t have an attorney and file a claim after being in a bus accident, the operator is likely to reject or underestimate your case. They understand that without representation, you have no power to negotiate. Having a bus accident lawyer increases the chances of winning a verdict by a wide margin.

Your Questions Answered

What do you do after a bus crash?

After a bus accident, you should immediately assess the situation and determine if anyone is injured. If so, call 911 and wait for emergency medical assistance. Otherwise, move the bus to the side of the road and call a tow truck. Once the bus is safely off the road, you can begin exchanging insurance information with the other driver.

The most common types of city bus accidents  are :

  • Rear-end collisions with another car
  • Accidents with pedestrians
  • Passengers of the bus injured

It depends on the circumstances of the city bus accident and who was at fault. If the bus company was at fault, then you may be able to get compensation from them. However, if you were at fault, then you will likely not be able to get any city bus accident settlement.

If you are injured while riding on a bus, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries, by proving that the bus company was negligent in some way and that this negligence led to your accident. For instance, the bus company could have failed to properly maintain the bus or to provide adequate safety.

Premises liability

PREMISE LIABILITY

$450,000

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
