Pursuing Maximum Compensation for Your Bus Accident Injuries

After an accident, it is vital to pursue the compensation that you need for your recovery. Compensation can help you pay your medical bills. Compensation may cover the income you lost as you healed, and it can pay for the damage that your injuries did to your future earning potential. Compensation may also cover the pain and suffering you experienced because of your injuries.

If you need to file a claim after a bus accident injury, a Queens accident lawyer from The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C., can help. Your lawyer can gather important evidence, aggressively negotiate with insurance companies, and fight on your behalf in court for your bus accident compensation. Throughout the process, your lawyer can help you pursue the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries.

Why Bus Accident Cases Are More Complicated

Bus accident compensation claims may be more complicated than other types of claims for reasons such as:

  • Bus accidents involve more serious injuries. The passengers who are on a bus during an accident may be thrown around in the bus, leading to fractures and other major injuries. When others on the road are struck by a bus, it can easily lead to permanent injuries and even death.
  • More people may be involved in a bus accident. Bus accidents seldom involve two parties. A bus may be carrying passengers, and each of them will likely bring a claim after an accident. A bus accident may also injure many people on the road. Dozens of injury claims may be related to a single accident.
  • Multiple vehicles may be involved. The weight and speed of a bus can push other vehicles into each other, resulting in multiple claims for property damage as well as multiple injury claims from bus passengers and other motorists.
  • There may be more potentially liable parties. In bus accidents, many different parties may be responsible for your injuries. Liable parties may include the bus driver, the driver’s employer, bus manufacturers, parts suppliers, repair shops, and other passengers.
  • Complicated insurance issues are common. In a typical car crash, the accident may involve the insurance policies of just two drivers. In a bus accident, you may be looking at a much more complex scenario. The driver, the driver’s employer, the government, and other liable parties may have their own insurance policies with different policy provisions.

New York Statute of Limitations on Bus Accident Lawsuits

If you need to file a bus accident lawsuit, you must do it within certain time limits known as statutes of limitation. These time limits vary significantly depending upon who was involved in the accident. For instance, the time limit may be shorter when a government entity is named in the lawsuit.

  • Private companies. If the bus is run by a private company as a sightseeing bus or a charter company, the deadline for your injury claim is three years from the accident date.
  • Government entities. If the bus is run by a government organization such as the MTA, your lawsuit must usually be filed within one year and 90 days of the accident. If your accident involved the MTA, you must file a “Notice of Claim” document within 90 days of the accident.

If you have been injured in an accident, have your case reviewed by a bus accident lawyer at The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C. A personal injury lawyer from our firm can review your accident case and determine how long you have to pursue the compensation you deserve.
