A bus accident claim is almost never a dispute with a driver. It is a dispute with a transit district, a national coach line or a charter operator, each of which treats a crash as bad for business and will spend heavily to limit what it pays. A bus accident attorney is there so that you are not the only person in that argument without a legal team.
Buses are large and heavy, so the force of a collision is great even at relatively low speeds, and they lack the safety features you find in cars. It is common for bus accident victims to suffer:
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Internal injuries
- Head injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Crushing injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Whiplash injuries
Don’t Go Up Against the Bus Company Alone
Bus accidents are bad for business. This is one reason why bus operators will go to great lengths to try to deny or at least limit their liability after an accident. They will dedicate big legal teams and significant resources to this effort. You could easily get overwhelmed if you do not have someone to stand up for your rights and interests.
Alejo Lugo is exactly the kind of experienced, aggressive, and persistent bus accident injury attorney you need on your side. After over 20 years of experience in personal injury law, Attorney Lugo knows how to go up against corporate defendants like bus operators and win.
No Bus Accident is Too Complicated
There are a variety of different scenarios that could result in a victim having a claim for compensation after a bus accident. For example, if a bus driver falls asleep at the wheel and causes an accident, both the bus passengers and any pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorists hit by the bus would have a claim.
At The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates, we handle all kinds of bus accident cases, including cases where someone other than the bus driver was at fault. For example, we handle accidents caused by defective bus parts, inadequate maintenance, negligent road maintenance, and of course other motorists who may hit a bus.
No matter what the circumstances of your bus accident may have been, we have the skills and resources required to investigate thoroughly, prove who is liable, and secure the compensation you need and deserve.
We Will Fight to Maximize Your Compensation
Although you may be offered a settlement after a bus accident, we urge you not to accept it before speaking to an attorney. After reviewing the facts of your case and the nature of your injuries, suffering, and other damages, we can help you understand the true value of your claim. If the settlement you have been offered is too low—and it likely is—we will negotiate for a better offer that includes fair compensation for all applicable damages such as:
- Current medical expenses
- Future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage to your vehicle if applicable
