You Can Seek Compensation for a Bus Accident in Birmingham
If you’ve suffered injuries or lost a loved one, then you may receive coverage for your losses. Your recoverable damages may include:
Medical Treatment
Medical treatment for a bus accident can be costly, as it may include:
- Ambulance transport
- Emergency room care
- Surgery
- Hospitalization
- X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and other medical imaging services
- In-home medical care
- Doctors’ appointments
- Rehabilitation
- Other healthcare costs
Caring for injuries in Alabama may cost more than you can afford. Even if you can afford your case, you may not have to pay. Liable parties may cover all your healthcare expenses.
Lost Income
When injuries prevent you from working, you may lose your regular income. In addition to wages, you may lose performance bonuses, the chance for retirement contributions, and fall out of the running for promotions. In time, your earning power may decrease because of missed time at work.
Pain and Suffering
We may recover compensation for:
- Your traumatic experience
- Memories, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and other symptoms of trauma
- Injury-related pain
- Treatment for your pain and suffering
Pain and suffering is a non-economic loss, but we can calculate its value. The cost of your pain and suffering may depend on your particular response to your accident and injuries.
Property Damage
Liable parties may cover repairs for your vehicle. If your vehicle suffered total damage, liable parties may pay for a new one. We will also seek coverage for any other property—cell phones, sunglasses, items tethered to your vehicle, or other property.
Wrongful Death
If you lost a loved one in a bus accident, we offer our condolences. The loss of a beloved family member can cause grief, financial costs, and loss of consortium. We will fight for compensation that covers all your losses.
No Two Bus Accident Cases Are Alike
Bus accidents take a different toll on each victim. For every bus accident victim, we consider what they experienced. Your injuries may be a large determinant of your losses; we take the time to fully analyze what you’ve lost.
Our team will seek documentation, including medical bills, proof of lost income, invoices for property repairs, and more to determine what you deserve in compensation.
Who Will Be Financially Responsible for Your Losses?
An at-fault motorist may be personally liable for your losses. In bus accident cases, it may be common for the bus driver’s employer to have liability. Such employers may include:
- The City of Birmingham
- A tourism company
- A bus rental service
- A transportation company
- Greyhound or a similar competitor
Establishing liability in bus accident cases can be complicated. We may need to sort through a chain of liability from the bus driver upward. This may lead us to all parties liable for your losses—there may be more than one.
With a bus accident lawyer from our firm, you don’t have to worry about case-related issues. We handle all parts of your case in Birmingham, from liability onward.
