Why Hire a Bus Accident Lawyer in Santa Clarita?
In short, our attorneys do everything it takes to get you maximum compensation for your injuries, pain, and suffering.
Here are a few of the ways we accomplish that.
Collect and Protect Evidence
One thing our firm excels at is finding and protecting evidence you might not even know to look for.
For example, did you know that buses have black boxes, just like airplanes? They record information like braking, speed, acceleration, and engine function, which can provide crucial details to help prove who is at fault for the crash.
We’ll download the bus’s black box data and also gather other evidence like:
- Traffic camera footage
- Surveillance videos from nearby businesses
- Dashcam footage
- Body camera videos
- The police report
- Your medical records
Determine Who Is at Fault
With most auto accidents, determining who’s responsible is usually as easy as picking the driver who caused the crash. Bus accidents are different, though, because somebody other than a driver might be at fault.
Parties who might be responsible for a bus accident include:
- The bus driver
- The bus company for failing to maintain the bus or encouraging unsafe driving practices
- Another driver
- The manufacturer of a faulty part
- A government agency that failed to properly maintain a road
Negotiate With Insurance Adjusters
Insurance companies profit from bullying people into accepting the lowest settlements possible, so let us do the negotiating on your behalf.
The insurance company knows they can’t bully a lawyer the same way they would an average person, so we’re far more likely to negotiate a fair settlement for you.
Besides, you should be focused on recuperating from your injuries, not making or receiving endless calls from an insurance adjuster who does not have your best interests at heart.
Secure Maximum Compensation
Whether it’s through negotiating a good settlement with the insurance company or whether we take your case to trial, we’ll work hard to get you every penny you deserve.
Types of Bus Accidents
Buses are used for a wide variety of purposes, so whether you were a passenger on the bus or in another vehicle that was struck by a bus, there are many ways you can get injured in a bus accident.
Some examples of different types of bus accidents include:
- School bus accidents can cause children to suffer from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, or other severe injuries.
- Charter bus accidents can cause catastrophic injuries for the passengers since they don’t typically have seat belts.
- Public transportation bus accidents can be problematic due to the need for some passengers to stand when there isn’t enough seating.
How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?
The deadline to sue someone in California for a personal injury claim is two years.
We recommend that you contact a bus accident lawyer much sooner than that, however, because we need time to gather evidence before it can go missing and to put together a strong case for you.
Since we work on contingency fees, there’s no risk for you to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation with us right away.
How Much Does a Santa Clarita Bus Accident Attorney Cost?
If you or your child were seriously injured in a bus accident, we understand that you may be struggling with high healthcare bills and lost wages from missing work to recover or help your child recuperate from their injuries.
That’s why we work on a contingency basis at Omega Law Group, so we take a portion of the money we get for you as opposed to charging anything upfront for our services.
That means if we don’t recover compensation for you, we don’t charge you a single dollar for our services.
