How Our Law Firm Can Help You with Your Case
A bus accident can quickly lead to a class action suit that involves multiple claimants who are all trying to secure a settlement from the city government, bus company, or their insurance company. As a victim, it may be difficult to get your voice heard and for the insurer to understand how the accident impacted you individually.
Our law firm works one-on-one with clients in these types of cases. We can advocate on your behalf to ensure that your rights are protected, and that compensation reflects your actual financial and personal losses. Your Boca Raton bus accident lawyer can help you with your claim in the following ways:

Investigate the Accident
We can review the details of the accident to determine who is at fault and how their negligence or reckless actions led to your injuries. We can obtain evidence such as eyewitness statements, accident reports, surveillance footage, medical reports, or expert testimony.
Assess Your Damages
Although it is impossible to put an exact number on the value of your case, our legal team can assess your damages and estimate how much your claim is worth. Damages may include economic, noneconomic, and wrongful death damages.
Fight for a Fair Settlement
With a legal team on your side, you have a greater chance of winning your case and getting a settlement that reflects your losses. We can engage with the insurance company on your behalf to fight for a settlement. Our lawyers are also prepared to represent you in court if you choose to file a lawsuit.

We Will Determine Who is Responsible for Your Accident
To win your case, our law firm must establish that someone’s negligence or careless actions are what led to your injuries and subsequent damages. Negligent parties in a bus accident case may include:
- Bus driver
- Bus company
- City government
- Bus manufacturer or designer
- Inspection agency
- Road crews
Keep in mind that not all transit systems are privately owned. Some municipalities provide local public transportation services. Florida Statute §768.28 allows you to file a lawsuit against local or state agencies if the accident involved a government-owned vehicle.

Losses You Can Recover in a Bus Accident in Florida
What you can recover after your bus accident depends on several factors, such as how the accident occurred and who is at fault. If there is a class action suit against the bus company, they may have limited resources due to the heavy financial burden. Depending on the situation, you may be able to include the following damages:
Medical Expenses
Bus accidents can cause catastrophic injuries that take you months to recover from. You may require medical services such as emergency room care, specialized medical procedures, hospital stay, follow up visits to the doctor, rehabilitative services, or in-home care. A Boca Raton bus accident lawyer can calculate your current and projected future medical expenses.
Lost Pay During Recovery
If you were out of work for several weeks, you may have lost several weeks of pay, bonuses, tips, or benefits. Instead of turning to your employer to make up your lost pay, the at-fault party should compensate you. If you are disabled or physically limited in your abilities due to the accident, we can also calculate lost income based on your diminished earning capacity.
Pain and Suffering
You may have experienced severe pain and discomfort while you were recovering from your accident. The accident may have also caused emotional or mental trauma. If so, we can add pain and suffering to your personal injury claim. We can calculate damages based on the amount of suffering you experienced.
Wrongful Death
If you lost a loved one in a bus accident, your family may be entitled to receive compensation for death-related expenses and losses. For instance, we may be able to claim funeral/burial expenses, medical expenses prior to death, or loss of household income.
Your Boca Raton bus accident lawyer’s goal is to get you fair compensation based on your actual losses. Do not let the insurance company determine what your case is worth. Our law firm can help you assess your losses and negotiate a fair settlement form the bus company and their insurer.
