There are certain factors that we need to look at before making this determination. This is why having an experienced lawyer to guide you through this process is highly beneficial. He or she may be able to determine if you have a valid case based on the four elements of negligence below:
If the at-fault party owed you a legal duty of care, you may be able to pursue compensation. In most cases, bus drivers and bus companies are legally obligated to transport their passengers safely.
The at-fault party failed to uphold his or her legal duties by not acting as a reasonable person would have under similar circumstances.

Damages may be medical bills, physical pain, suffering, or lost wages from missing time from work in order to properly recover.

Generally, you have a two-year deadline to take legal action. The two years begin from the date of the accident, so it is important to act as soon as possible. Cases that are not filed within this time limit will likely result in a court dismissal and being unable to pursue compensation for your injury.
However, each case is different. Certain situations may extend or shorten the deadline. If you are still unsure about which deadline applies to you, call a dedicated Avondale burn injury lawyer today.

If the bus operator acted in a negligent, reckless, or careless manner leading up to the accident, he or she may be responsible for the accident. Negligent driving behaviors may include the following:
The bus company is responsible for hiring competent drivers. This involves hiring people with a clean driving record or taking appropriate measures to regulate a driver’s negligent behavior. Failure to oversee all operations involving the company may cause them to be held liable for a bus accident.
Some accidents may occur because of the actions of another driver. For example, if a driver is not paying attention to road signs, he or she may run a red light and collide with a bus.
