In the United States, a significant percentage of the adult population, as well as school-going children rely on buses to commute from one place to another. Throughout the world, at least 700 million people use buses every year. Most of them expect to reach their destinations safely, but unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are at least 238 fatal bus accidents each year.
At Lone Star Injury Attorneys, we have a rich history of representing families whose loved ones have been killed in bus crashes. Our skilled attorney also won record-breaking settlements for injured victims. To a great length, we understand the devastations that follow a catastrophic bus accident. If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a similar crash, you may be able to recover compensation. All it takes is an aggressive Channelview bus accident lawyer you can trust.
With the help of a qualified attorney, you may file any of the following claims after a bus crash:
Texas is the state with the third most fatalities when it comes to bus accidents. It records at least 145 fatal crashes resulting in at least 211 deaths. The families of these victims have a difficult time comprehending their loss. While there’s never enough compensation to cover a lost life, it’s still important to file a wrongful death lawsuit. The compensation you get enables you to offset bills left behind by the deceased as well as secure your future. On top of that, you get to have closure after getting the justice your loved one deserves.
When a defective vehicle part or product causes a bus accident, the manufacturer or any other party in the chain of distribution may be sued. In most cases, defective tires, braking, or steering systems cause an accident. These are often beyond the driver’s control, and as such, a skilled Channelview attorney is the best person to face off with manufacturers and their legal team.
If you are severely injured in an accident, you may bring a personal injury claim against the party responsible for the accident. You must prove that an act of negligence contributed to the crash and the resulting injuries. In most injury claims, the driver is often to blame for negligence. But this doesn’t rule out the possibility of other parties being at fault.
As your bus crash lawyer will tell you, each case is unique. You may qualify for different damages depending on your case. For example, the compensation payable in a wrongful death claim may differ from that in a personal injury lawsuit. But generally, bus accident victims may qualify for damages such as:
Any other provable loss may be brought forward by your attorney during negotiations with insurance companies or in a court process.
When deciding to pursue a legal claim, you must choose the best party to sue. Despite having more than one party at fault, it may be better to file a claim against the one likely to yield maximum compensation. But this shouldn’t worry you, as our injury attorneys understand how to approach these scenarios. Throughout our years of personal injury law practice, most defendants have been:
The defendant in your case will be dependent on the cause of the accident. A good bus wreck lawyer may retain accident reconstruction experts to help determine the root cause of crashes where liability is contested.
The personal injury lawyers at our firm do not have a one-size-fits-all approach to bus accident cases. We treat each claim uniquely and with the utmost confidentiality. This ensures that all aspects of your case are fully reviewed before deciding the next course of action. And no matter what method of compensation we choose, you can rest assured that we will fight to the end.
