Bus accident claims can be very difficult to handle. With many different plausible outcomes, it is best to have an attorney assist in navigating through the process. This will ensure to maximize the results of the claim. Helping you and your loved ones receive the compensation owed as a result of the accident.
Bus companies typically have their own type of insurance that is more comprehensive than the standard auto insurance. This type of coverage is mainly in place to make sure its passengers are covered. There are many laws and requirements within this type of insurance. Some policies might cover each passenger individually or it might have a lump sum of money to cover the passengers. This is why having a well versed and knowledgeable attorney on your side is critical.
Having to haggle with a bus company and their legal defense teams can be very trying and very intimidating. In many cases, you have to play detective and obtain crucial evidence that will either help your case or prove any faults or mistakes in theirs. Evidence such as, hours of service logs, phone records that are involved in the claim, maintenance records, and many others.
Even trying to find out what or who caused the accident can be difficult to prove. Was the bus driver fatigued and fell asleep at the wheel? Was the bus driver not following the laws of the road? Was the bus driver distracted or under the influence? Was it even the bus driver’s fault or was it a mechanical fault in the bus itself?
Who do you go after to file a claim? Well, it depends on what kind of bus accident you were involved in. Such as a tour bus accident the attorney could hold two different parties accountable. One the tour company or two the bus company. If involved in a school bus accident, you can file a claim against the school bus driver or the school bus company.
Bus companies and their legal team will do everything they can to get out of compensation. A well-versed attorney on your side can put you or your loved one on the right path to getting the compensation deserved.
