If you or a loved one suffered injuries in a Winter Garden bus accident, you may be eligible to collect compensation. Our Winter Garden personal injury lawyers at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will help you get the justice you are entitled to for your damages.
The main difference between bus and car accidents is the impact, as the size and weight of a bus are more than that of a car. Therefore, the consequences of an accident involving a bus are more serious. For example, a bus weighing 10 tons can decimate a sedan in a head-on collision. You should not have to pay out-of-pocket expenses to treat your injuries that someone else caused. We can identify the liable party or parties and hold them accountable.
How a Winter Garden Bus Accident Lawyer Helps
You could suffer several different injuries in a bus accident, so a lawyer will help you establish all your damages to potentially receive fair compensation. A lawyer can gather evidence such as a crash report and your medical records. We can also hire accident reconstructionists to display how the accident occurred and how the other party acted negligently and is at fault.
Schools, national bus companies, and public transportation companies have legal and insurance defense lawyers prepared to protect their interests. There may be multiple parties responsible for the crash, such as the trucking company and trucking manufacturer. It is beneficial to have a team of attorneys on your side that understand the laws and will communicate with them. You only have to focus on recovering while we get to work for you.
Wrongful Death in Bus Accidents
The emotional anguish of losing a loved one to a bus accident can be overwhelming, primarily if it resulted from the negligent actions of others. The survivors—spouses, children, parents, siblings, dependents—can sue for wrongful death benefits. You generally have two years according to Florida Statute 95.11 to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Such benefits often include:
- Compensation for funeral expenses
- Loss of future earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of possible net accumulation
- Loss of consortium
Traumatic Brain Injury
Head injuries are serious irrespective of the nature of the accident, so seek prompt medical attention after a bus accident if you have not already. Common symptoms of head injuries are headaches, blurred vision, memory loss, impaired speech, sensitivity to sound and light, and delayed responses.
A Winter Garden bus accident lawyer will involve medical professionals in your case to ensure you receive proper diagnosis and treatment for the injuries.
Soft Tissues Injuries
Any bulky, sharp, and blunt objects on the bus can cause lacerations after an accident. Additionally, the breaking of glass windows is another risk for soft tissue injuries in a bus accident.
Call the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine if you need legal help in claiming compensation for your soft tissue injuries.
Spinal Cord Injuries
According to the National Institutes of Health, a bus accident can lead to a damaged spinal cord, thus changing the way you live the rest of your life. Furthermore, the spine injury can leave you more vulnerable to other conditions, such as:
- Obesity
- Skin infection
- Paralysis
- Bladder infections
- Inability to control bladder and bowel
- Lung infections
- Sensitivity and pain to stimuli
