Attorneys Representing Bus Accident Victims In Utah

What rights do I have in a bus accident?

Bus drivers are held to a very high standard of care for their passengers. Depending on the nature and circumstances of what happened, you can potentially get damages from the driver, the driver’s insurance company, the owner of the bus fleet, or other negligent parties.

Should you file a class action suit along with others who were injured in a major bus crash?

Plaintiffs often band together to file suits against powerful defendants. But if you don’t approve of the tactics and strategies that your fellow plaintiffs want to employ, you are under no obligation to join the suit, instead you can make a separate claim.

What are the statutes of limitation for filing recovery claims against parties liable for a bus accident?

The answer depends on the kind of recovery you want to seek. For no fault accident claims, the typical time limit is half a year. If you are seeking compensation for pain and suffering, or medical bills, you may have up to six years after the accident to file.

Should you retain an attorney to help you with your bus accident case?

In most cases, a bus accident attorney is a good idea. An personal injury attorney knows the relevant case law and can help you avoid making mistakes that might cost you potentially collecting damages. Moreover, if you have a legitimate case, many attorneys will take your matter on contingency; this means that you do not pay lawyers’ fees until after you win a verdict.
