Ask an Attorney: How Much is Your Bus Accident Case Worth?

No matter if you were riding in a bus that was involved in an accident, hit in a car by a bus, or even hit by a bus as a pedestrian or bicyclist, you should contact an experienced bus accident attorney right away. While bus accidents may seem to be similar to any other type of vehicle accident, the reality is that most buses are owned by a government entity. As a result, there is a limited amount of time in which you can make a claim or bring a case.

This is just one of the reasons that hiring a personal injury attorney is the best way to ensure you get what you deserve. When you choose The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker, you can count on us to work tirelessly to ensure the case is resolved as quickly and favorably as possible. Read on to learn about the factors that can affect how your case is resolved and how much it may be worth, then contact us at 800-333-0000 for a free legal consultation.

Uncovering a fair compensation amount

Of course, we understand that one of the first questions you will have when consider filing a lawsuit is how much compensation you may be owed. After all, you do not want to go through the hassle or expense of filing a lawsuit if the outcome is going to likely be nothing more than a judgment for $100. However, one thing to remember is that we cover all upfront costs – and if we do not win your case then you do not owe us anything.

As we work to come up with a fair compensation amount to strive for, we will consider many factors. We will use our experience, your doctor’s assessment, and our own medical experts, if necessary, to determine the future medical costs. We will take your past medical costs into consideration, as well as other economic damages such as lost income, property damage, and lost future earning capacity. Then we will factor in noneconomic factors such as pain and suffering.

Once we have a fair amount in mind, we can request payment from the insurance company. We will negotiate aggressively to get you what you are owed. If they will not budge and offer a reasonable settlement then we will take your case to court.

There is no upfront cost involved in filing a personal injury lawsuit

The good news is that you do not have to pay us upfront. In fact, you do not have to pay for any of your legal fees upfront, nor your filing fees – not even the cost of medical experts. We cover all upfront expenses. Our fee comes from your settlement and if we are not successful in getting you a settlement then you do not owe us a penny. Call The Law Offices of Larry H.
