What Compensation Will You Get from a Bus Crash Claim?
You may receive funds to cover any of the financial losses caused by a collision involving a transit bus, school bus, or activity bus. Depending on your circumstances, an attorney could help you get compensation for your:
Medical Expenses
A bus accident could leave you with a concussion, whiplash, broken bones, and other catastrophic injuries. Your attorney can work diligently to bring you funds to cover the costs of your current and future medical care.
You may also secure funds for your medications, rehabilitative care, and any necessary assistive devices.
Lost Wages and Diminished Earning Potential
Our team can help you get compensation to cover the pay you lost while recovering after a bus crash. If the accident caused a disabling condition, like paralysis, you may seek funds for your lost earning potential.
Property Damage
Buses may badly damage or total smaller vehicles. Therefore, you may need funds to cover repair costs after a crash.
Non-Economic Losses
Your Bakersfield bus accident lawyer can also help you get compensation for non-economic costs associated with a collision. These funds cover the emotional pain and suffering caused by a crash.
Who Pays for Your Bus Accident Losses?
The party responsible for causing the bus crash may have to cover all your expenses. Your attorney will need to investigate to determine negligence and find the liable party, which could include:
- The bus driver
- The bus company
- Another motorist
We use a variety of techniques to investigate these cases. We may visit the scene of the crash, get a copy of the police report about the accident, and interview any eyewitnesses to take their official statements.
Your attorney may also work with bus accident experts or reconstruct the collision. We’re ready to begin investigating immediately.
How Do Lawyers Bring You Compensation for a Bus Crash?
Personal injury law firms use two primary means to resolve bus accident claims and secure compensation for their clients. In many cases, our team focuses first on opening negotiations with the insurance company.
We may secure an insurance settlement that covers all your expenses. However, we know that some insurance companies try to refuse fair settlements, instead engaging in stall tactics and trying to undervalue client claims.
In this situation, we may help you file a personal injury lawsuit. We stand up for you in court and present all evidence that supports your claim to the judge and jury, pushing for maximum compensation to cover all your losses.

When Do You Pay Us for Legal Fees?
We only take payment for legal fees after we resolve your legal claim because we handle bus accident cases on a contingency fee basis. We only take payment after we bring you compensation.
How Long Do You Have to File a Bus Accident Claim?
Typically, you’ll have two years from the date of your bus accident to file a personal injury claim. After this period of time, California’s statute of limitations will expire, and the court can dismiss your request for compensation.
We help you monitor the deadline for your claim and keep you informed about the progress of your claim.
Once we begin the legal process, you can expect to wait several months for resolution through an insurance claim. Filing a lawsuit may increase the time it takes to bring you compensation for your healthcare costs, lost wages, property repairs, and other losses.
