How an Attorney Can Help You After a Bus Accident

Bus2

Bus accidents are not as common compared to other vehicle accidents. However, they do happen. And when a bus accident occurs, it can have devastating consequences. This is mainly because of vehicle size and the number of people involved. Victims of a bus accident may be left dealing with, among other things, substantial medical expenses, extreme pain and suffering, and lost wages. Fortunately, if you are involved in a Florida bus accident because of another party’s negligence, such as the bus driver, the bus company, another driver, or the company that services the bus, you can recover compensation for your injuries and damages.

Enlisting the help of a skilled personal injury attorney if you’ve suffered injuries in a bus accident is quite crucial. While you are not obligated to hire an attorney to help you file a bus accident claim, it is in your best interest not to handle your claim alone. Below, we look at how an attorney can help you after a bus accident.

How Can an Attorney Help You After a Bus Accident?

The following are some of the ways an attorney can help you after a bus accident;

  1. Determining Who Is Liable for Your Accident

Determining liability after a bus accident can be challenging. A skilled personal injury attorney can help determine how your accident happened and who is to blame. In some cases, more than one party is to blame. An attorney can conduct a thorough investigation and determine if one party or multiple parties are to blame for your bus accident.

  1. Determining and Calculating Damages

A skilled personal injury attorney can help identify all the damages you are entitled to. You may be entitled to economic, non-economic, and even punitive damages. According to Florida law, you can recover punitive damages if the defendant is guilty of gross negligence or intentional misconduct. An attorney can help you calculate your damages.

  1. Collecting Evidence

You need evidence to prove the elements of negligence: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. A skilled personal injury attorney can help you gather the evidence you need to prove these elements. For example, your attorney can help you collect witness statements to support your claim.

  1. Negotiating With the Insurance Company

An experienced personal injury lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company and ensure you get the compensation you deserve. If you handle negotiations alone, the insurance company may take advantage of you and trick you into accepting a low offer.

  1. Ensuring You Get a Quick Settlement

After your bus accident, there may be several procedures you need to complete that are complicated and lengthy. A skilled attorney can help you navigate these processes fast and ensure your personal injury claim is concluded within a reasonable amount of time.
