Bus Accident Lawyers in Vero Beach, FL Assisting Injury Victims Obtain Full and Fair Compensation

Public bus transportation can be a cost-effective way to get to and from destinations. For schoolchildren, it is often their only option to get back and forth to class. However, riding a bus can be dangerous because some buses do not have seatbelts. As a result, if a bus is involved in an accident, passengers have the potential to fall into one another, causing severe injuries.

If you have been a passenger on a bus, pedestrian, or in another motor vehicle involved in the accident, you may be entitled to recover financial compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Grall Law Group has extensive experience handling various bus accident cases. Contact our law offices and ask to schedule a free case review with one of our highly qualified bus accident lawyers, who will gladly answer your questions and help explore your legal options.

Who Can Be Held Liable For a Bus Accident?

Determining liability for a bus accident can be challenging and requires the skill of an experienced attorney. Bus accidents can be challenging due to the various circumstances that may have caused the accident to occur in the first place.

For example, the bus driver may have been fatigued, distracted, or even driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. However, even if it is determined that the bus driver failed to exercise proper caution, the bus company will most likely still be liable for your injuries. However, it may also be discovered that the company that owned and operated the bus may have failed in its obligation to ensure that proper maintenance was performed on the vehicle. Finally, a third-party driver may have caused the accident by running into the bus or causing the bus to lose control and be involved in a collision.

Despite how the bus accident occurred, our highly knowledgeable bus accident lawyers can analyze the facts surrounding your case and determine who should be held liable for the damages you have suffered.

What Types of Damages Can I Recover After Being Involved in a Bus Accident?

Can I File a Wrongful Death Claim if My Loved One Died as a Result of a Bus Accident?

You may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim if you have lost an immediate family member due to a bus accident. However, Florida state law mandates that only a personal representative of the deceased’s estate is legally permitted to file the wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of family members.

The Florida statute of limitations allows families up to two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim. If you allow the specified time period to elapse, the court will most likely refuse to hear your case.

If you have tragically lost a loved one due to a bus accident, contact our law offices and ask to speak with one of our qualified personal injury attorneys as soon as possible.
