Our Massapequa Bus Accident Attorneys Are Ready to Fight for Justice

The first thing you should do after suffering any injury whatsoever in a bus crash is to get medical attention. This protects your health and creates a clear, official record of your injuries. After you have received treatment, it is a good idea to start exploring your legal right to compensation. A Massapequa bus injury lawyer from our firm could recover many different types of damages, depending on what losses you suffered. We do this by:

• Keeping you updated throughout the case, ensuring you understand your options at each stage, and that all of your questions are answered along the way
• Identifying the at-fault party so you know who is responsible for the accident and who you should target in your legal action
• Communicating with all parties so you do not need to have direct contact with the liable party or their representatives, who might try to get you to accidentally undermine your case
• Collecting evidence to show that the liable party behaved negligently and that their negligence caused your injuries and losses
• Quantifying your injuries so you understand your case’s financial worth and are better able to assess how appropriate each settlement offer is

We are prepared to negotiate hard for a pretrial settlement or represent you in the courtroom as necessary.

Damages You Could Recover After Suffering Injuries in a Bus Crash

For many families, “damages” are synonymous with economic damages. These are the financial losses you have experienced because of the crash. They frequently include medical expenses, property damage (especially damage to your car), and any income or job benefits lost when your injuries kept you from working. However, it is important to note that you could also be eligible for non-economic damages, which reimburse you for such physical and mental losses as pain and suffering, emotional distress caused by physical injuries, and diminished quality of life and independence. Buses are large and heavy enough to do significant damage to both bus passengers and the occupants of other, smaller vehicles. The more extensive your losses, the more our Massapequa lawyers can recover on your behalf.

How Much Time Do You Have to Seek Compensation After a Collision?

There are legal deadlines you must meet if you intend to file a claim or lawsuit after a crash. You generally have three years after your accident to file. (It is also very important to note that a shorter statute of limitations may apply to your situation, depending upon the circumstances of your case. Speaking with one of our experienced bus accident lawyers should clarify which deadlines apply and what legal options may be available.)

Who Is Responsible for Your Bus Accident?

One of the reasons why bus accident cases tend to be more complex than other personal injury cases is that there are so many more parties involved:

• The bus driver, who might have engaged in negligent behaviors like speeding or not paying attention to the road
• The bus company, which is generally responsible for training the drivers and maintaining the vehicles
• A maintenance team, if the bus company outsourced responsibility for inspecting and repairing their vehicles
• Bus passengers, who might each have a different recollection of the accident and might even be taking legal action of their own
• The driver of another vehicle who might have behaved negligently and caused the bus to crash
• A government agency, if the accident involved a public bus (e.g., a NICE bus in Nassau County, an SCT bus in Suffolk County, or an MTA bus in the City of New York.)

Any one of these parties might be liable for your crash. In some cases, multiple parties might share responsibility. The only way to get to the truth is by investigating the collision and carefully analyzing all available evidence. The liable party’s insurance company or internal investigation unit has likely already begun its own investigation and is looking for ways to justify paying you as little as possible for your injuries. Let Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., protect your right to appropriate compensation by finding out what really happened.
