Here is a brief overview of the parties who may be held liable for your damages:

  • The Bus Company: Bus companies are responsible for ensuring their vehicles are reasonably safe. They may be held liable for damages if your accident was caused due to brake failure or bald tires. They may also be liable if inadequate driver training or supervision was a contributing factor, or if their employees failed to enforce reasonable safety procedures.
  • A Government Entity: You may have grounds for a claim against a government entity if you were injured in a crash involving a government-owned bus and the negligence of a government employee was the cause of the collision. You may also have grounds for such a claim if the accident was caused by dangerous road conditions.
  • The Company That Maintained the Bus: If a mechanical failure caused the accident, the company that maintained the bus can be held liable if it worked for the bus company as an independent contractor.
  • Tour Bus Operators: If you were injured in an accident while riding a bus as part of a tour package, the service that offered you the package may be held liable.
  • School Boards and Districts: School boards that employ bus drivers can be held liable for accidents caused by their employees’ negligence. School boards can also be held liable if they failed to implement appropriate safety standards and this contributed to the crash or to the resulting injuries.
  • Bus Drivers: If your accident was caused because the bus driver violated a traffic law or operated the vehicle while impaired, you may be able to hold the bus driver personally liable for your damages. In general, though, bus companies that employ bus drivers are typically held liable for the negligence of their employees.
  • Auto Part Manufacturers: Defective auto parts contribute to an alarming number of motor-vehicle collisions in the U.S. Depending on the cause of the defect, claimants in these cases may be able to pursue compensation from the designer, manufacturer, or distributor of the part.
  • Other Drivers: If your accident was caused by the driver of another vehicle, that driver may be held liable for your damages.

    How much is my personal injury case worth and will you guarantee success?

    The “value” of your case depends on many factors, such as the extent of your injury, the amount of your medical bills, and your condition after you have finished medical treatments. The calculation also factors in if you in any way contributed to or caused the incident. An attorney will never guarantee any outcome in your case; however, an experienced attorney can give you a fair assessment of the outcome of your case.

    How much does a personal injury attorney charge?

    Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis. Therefore your attorney will only get paid if you get paid. If no recovery is obtained there is no out of pocket cost from you. Most law firms work on a percentage based fee. They usually obtain 33.33% of your final award. Contingency-based cases are very beneficial because they provide access to the courts for those who can’t otherwise afford to pay attorneys fees and the costs of litigation. It also reduces frivolous lawsuits because attorneys will only litigate cases they think they will likely win.

    What should I do if I'm unsatisfied with my current personal injury attorney?

    If you are unhappy with your current attorney for any reason you have the option of changing your attorney. Once you obtain a new attorney he/she can handle the process of substituting out the previous attorney. Generally, it is a very simple process to do and there is no cost to you. However, your current attorney will likely need to split a portion of your award with your prior attorney according to the amount of work he/she has contributed to your claim prior to being substituted.
