Wrongful death and injury compensation for bus crash lawsuits

Hire a personal injury lawyer

3.
Document your expenses
Having a complete list of your financial losses due to a bus driver’s recklessness is the best way to help your attorney determine the settlement you deserve.

4.
Do not talk to the other bus driver's insurance company
After your claim is filed, their insurance will begin an investigation to determine liability. It is in their best interest to put any percentage of fault they can on innocent victims. They will use whatever they can from your conversations to do so. Leave any contact with them to your experienced attorney.

5.
Negotiate a settlement

Insurance companies will do what they can to get you to quickly accept their first offer, even more so if you are experiencing financial hardships and need that money quickly. Steve Caya and his experienced team will fight for every dollar you deserve.
