The first thing you should do is reach out to a Seattle bus accident lawyer as soon as possible. Talking to Seattle Injury Law’s lawyers about your case is free. We will listen to your situation and determine your claim’s value. Filing a personal injury claim is the way that you can get compensation. Although a settlement cannot fix all the damage, it can help cover the financial expenses that resulted from your accident.Â
Bus accident cases can be complicated. They are usually more complex than a regular car accident claim. Firstly, bus accident injuries are often worse than the average auto accident injury. The more medical expenses incurred, the more your claim is worth. The more your claim is worth, the harder the insurance company will fight against giving you what you’re entitled to. In a bus accident, there are often multiple parties at fault. You need professionals to figure out who is responsible so that you can seek out compensation from all the sources available.Â
In a bus accident, the government might be partially at fault. If you were struck by a school bus or a public bus, it’s possible that you could have to file your claim against a governmental agency. If you fail to do things properly when it comes to timelines and procedures, then your claim could be thrown out. Another factor complicating bus accident injury claims is that often multiple people were injured in the crash. All of these victims could be trying to file a claim against the same parties as you.

This can include things such as ongoing care, physical therapy costs, prescription costs, emergency room care expenses, and more. You can also seek compensation from lost wages if your injury made you have to take time off of work, or lowered your earning capacity.
