Bus accidents occur each day on
roads in every town, city, county, and state which can result in large property
damages and serious personal injuries. Most of these accidents are caused
by negligent or reckless drivers. However, other factors may also be considered
such as poorly-designed roads, improper traffic signals, or a defective vehicle
or tire. Many injured victims of are overwhelmed by the avalanche of medical bills, accident
reports, telephone calls, insurance forms, and general correspondence that is
received instantly after the bus accident. These accident cases are usually
defended by insurance companies. Further, the people who have been
injured in such accidents may not be in the proper state of mind to deal with
either written, verbal or recorded inquiries from insurance companies.
In many states, victims who have suffered
personal injury may be entitled to recover damages for disability, wrongful
death, dismemberment, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent
disfigurement, loss of opportunity to enjoy life, interference with marital
and/or parental relationships, and other types of general damages. Many states
also allow for recovery of unusual damages such as past, present and future
medical bills, wage loss, loss of earnings potential, and other
out-of-the-pocket expenses. Some states also require that certain no-fault
benefits including a portion of lost wages and medical bills shall be paid
following a traffic accident.
In general, victims of bus accidents
should appreciate that while they are still receiving initial medical
treatment, the parties at fault have already notified their insurance company
of the accident. Every insurance company has a team of adjusters, investigators
and lawyers whose main responsibility is to limit the liability of the
