According to California Civil Code of Civil Procedure, Section 335.1, a person has only two years after an incident to file a lawsuit involving a personal injury, which does include an injury resulting from a bus accident. If nothing is resolved or filed by that time, it is possible that any chance for compensation would be lost. In many cases, compensation can be recovered not only for medical bills, but for lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Under California law, busses are considered "common carriers" because of the fact that there is a fee collected for transport. Because of this, there is a higher standard of care expected by the drivers: they are to use the utmost care and responsibility at all times. It is more likely for a person who is injured to have a claim against the bus company due to the higher expectations of those trained in public transport.
Responsibility in Bus Accident Injuries
Even though the common carrier law is in place to help legally protect those who choose to use public transportation, sometimes bus companies deny fault in certain situations. Having an attorney experienced in determining fault is the best option if you have been injured in a bus accident. Attempting to recover compensation yourself could result in postponement until after the deadline, a low ball offer, or even complete denial of fault. Our bus accident attorney team knows how to go after the people responsible for the accident that caused your injuries and get you maximum compensation for your losses.
Some of the most common types of injuries are:
- Broken bones
- Bone fractures
- Lacerations, cuts, bruises
- Concussion
- Whiplash
- Neck sprain
- Back sprain
- Shoulder injury
