Have you been hurt by a Windermere bus accident? You may have the right to collect money from a party who is legally responsible for your injuries. Settlement payouts are usually tailored to offset:
- Medical copays, bills, and invoices
- Ongoing treatments, therapies, or prescriptions
- Loss of ability to earn your income
- Mental and emotional anguish
- Pain and suffering due to the accident
The law is often difficult to interpret, which is why the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine provides fully responsive legal care to people injured by buses in Windermere. Focus on getting better while we take care of everything else and give us a call today to get started.
What to Expect After a Bus Accident in Windermere, Florida
Not all injuries from bus accidents occur the same way. You may have slipped and fallen while getting on or off the bus. Your loved one may have been hit by a bus in a crosswalk. You may have been hurt by falling luggage on the bus, or somehow by another passenger. If your injury is due to the bus company’s negligence, you may be able to recover significant financial compensation.
After an accident, the other party’s insurance company may call to get your side of the story. The insurance adjuster will likely request a recorded statement and attempt to use anything you say against you. Only discuss when and where the accident occurred and who was involved. Politely direct any further questions to your attorney.
Types of Injuries That Can Occur in Bus Accidents
Injuries resulting from bus wrecks are not always immediately obvious, and can include:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal injury or paralysis
- Lacerations or impalement
- Loss of sense of smell, sight, or hearing
- Coma
- Loss of fertility
The risks of riding through traffic without a seatbelt are innumerable and go beyond the above list. Regardless of the type of injury you suffered, a Windermere personal injury lawyer may be able to help.
Time Is Limited to Be Able to Collect Money
Many different issues put pressure on people to file their legal claims or lawsuits as soon as possible. Aside from moving to be paid out as early as they can be, there are several other reasons to act quickly, such as:
- Relevant individuals may move away or die of natural causes
- Statute of limitations may bar your lawsuit
- Claims and lawsuits against government entities may have different time limits
While Florida Statute § 95.11 provides injured parties with four years to file a lawsuit, the above factors can shorten the amount of time you have to file.
