Bus Accident Attorneys
While buses are generally considered a safe and steadfast method of transportation for commuters, students, and travelers alike, any vehicle on the road can be involved in an accident, and buses are no exception. Many buses do not have seatbelts or airbags, so when bus accidents do occur, the resulting injuries and consequences can be severe. People can be thrown around without safety restraints, there are more parties involved, and bus companies start gathering their defenses as soon as the bus accident occurs, making dealing with a bus accident claim complex.
The lawyers at LeBaron & Jensen are experienced in handling accident claims. We offer free, no-obligation case consultations to go over your case and the options available to you with you. Our attorneys use every necessary legal resource and fight hard to obtain the compensation you deserve for you so that you can focus your energy on recovery.
Tips For A Successful Bus Accident Claim
Chances are, you’ve never been in a bus accident before. Bus accidents can be caused by a number of factors, from distracted driving on the part of the bus driver, distracted driving on the part of another driver on the road, hazardous conditions, faulty or poorly maintained parts on the bus, and more. If the bus accident was caused by the bus driver’s negligence, you can seek compensation from the bus company. If the bus was a school or city bus, you can bring a claim against the government. If the bus accident was caused by another driver, you will likely need to go through their insurance for compensation.
While typically, it is the bus company that is held liable for a bus accident, the legal team at LeBaron & Jensen can investigate the accident and evidence to determine liability and your options for compensation. There are several things that you can do to help with your bus accident claim.
Seek Medical Attention As Soon As Possible
Many people make the mistake of not seeking treatment after an accident. The sooner you receive treatment, the sooner any injuries can be diagnosed and treated. This is helpful not just for your overall health and wellness, but also for your claim. The sooner the full extent of your injuries is known and they have been treated, the sooner your claim can be settled and closed.
Gather Evidence
If you can, collecting evidence in the form of pictures of the scene of the accident, any injuries you have sustained, and the contact information of the bus driver and witnesses will help your case. The more evidence you have, the better.
Don’t Make Statements To Insurance Companies
Unfortunately, insurance companies are looking out for their best interests – not yours. They will always try to save themselves money and offer you a settlement far below what you actually deserve. If you make a statement, they can try to use that against you to either discount or deny your claim.
Contact An Attorney
With how many parties are involved in bus accident cases, they can be hard to navigate without expert legal representation. Contacting an attorney will ensure that you are giving yourself the best chance possible to reach a fair settlement to recover your damages resulting from the bus accident.
