How Can Our Denver Bus Accident Attorneys Help?

Personal injury cases involving bus accidents can be complicated. You must have direct evidence that the parties contributed to the accident’s cause to recover compensation from those parties. Some common causes of bus accidents include:

  • Driver error, including distracted driving, fatigued driving, speeding, reckless driving, and impaired driving
  • Negligence and fault of other drivers
  • Failure to inspect and maintain the buses
  • Defective buses and bus parts
  • Negligent bus repairs

The Denver bus accident lawyers at the Bendinelli Law Firm understand bus-related laws and how those laws impact a personal injury claim. Our legal team works to uncover the truth about how the accident occurred. We gather evidence to hold the negligent parties liable for damages. We work with your doctors to document your injuries and damages to support our demand for maximum compensation for your personal injury claim.

Catastrophic and Life-Altering Injuries

The lack of safety restraints on buses can increase the risk of traumatic and life-threatening injuries during a collision. The design of a bus makes it more likely to roll over during a crash, increasing the chances of catastrophic injuries.

Common injuries in bus accidents include:

For some bus accident victims, the road to recovery is long. They might require surgery and months of therapy to recover from their injuries. Other accident victims may never fully recover from their injuries. They may require long-term personal care and ongoing medical treatment. The cost can be substantial.

Recovering Compensation for Bus Accident Injuries and Damages

The passengers of a bus accident are entitled to recover compensation for injuries and damages from the parties responsible for the bus crash. Damages that you might recover in a bus accident case include:

The amount of compensation you receive for your bus accident claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the amount of your financial losses, and other factors.

Our goal is to maximize the compensation you receive. We understand that it has been a difficult and emotional experience for you and your family. We want to hold the parties responsible for the crash liable for their negligence and wrongdoing. The money will not undo the pain, but it can help with your financial needs now and in the future.

Speak with an Attorney Right Away

While you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, hiring an attorney as soon as possible is very important. In the days and weeks after an accident, witnesses’ memories get hazy, evidence disappears, and insurance companies implement strategies to devalue claims. In fact, once they are alerted that you may be injured, insurance companies are notorious for calling and offering a medical settlement amount that is far less than you need to recover from your injuries.

Hiring an attorney will help in a number of ways. At the Bendinelli Law Firm, PC, we can:

  • Connect you with medical experts to get a full understanding of your injuries
  • Help put together a treatment plan to make sure you get the medical care you need to recover
  • Handle all interactions with the insurance companies to make sure they don’t take advantage of you
  • Gather all necessary evidence and documentation to build the strongest case possible
  • Negotiate a fair settlement from the insurance companies
  • Take them to trial if they don’t treat you fairly

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need a Lawyer After a Bus Accident?

In most cases, you only need a lawyer after a bus accident if you or a loved one has suffered injuries. In order to make sure the insurance company does not take advantage of you, it is always advised to hire a bus accident lawyer who will try and maximize the settlement amount offered by the insurance companies.

How much is my bus accident case worth?

The value of a bus accident case is different in every situation. The amount of settlement money offered by the insurance company should account for hospital bills past, present and future, loss of income from inability to work, pain and suffering, and other factors. Generally speaking, the more serious the injuries one has suffered, the more value a case has.
