Bus Accidents

A bus accident claim allows victims to seek compensation for injuries caused by city transit, charter, or school bus accidents. Due to their size and weight, bus accidents often result in serious injuries like fractures, head trauma, and vertebral damage. Florida law holds bus operators and companies responsible for maintaining safe driving practices and ensuring the safety of passengers and others on the road.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Individuals injured in a bus accident—whether as passengers on the bus, pedestrians, or other drivers—can benefit from filing a claim. Bus accident victims may face costly medical treatments, physical therapy, and lost income. A successful claim helps secure compensation to alleviate these burdens.
• Consequences Without Representation: Bus accident claims can be complex due to the involvement of government entities (in the case of city buses) or large, often well-insured transportation companies. Without the help of an experienced attorney, victims may face difficulties in holding these entities accountable. Additionally, the statute of limitations for bus accidents in Florida is four years, so timely legal action is crucial to preserving your rights.
