BOSTON BUS ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

Liability usually falls on the individual or entity that played a role in the accident, usually through some form of negligence. Here are some examples of possible liable parties in such a case:

Possible liable parties in a bus accident may include:

• The bus driver
• The bus company or operator 
• The manufacturer or maintenance provider of the bus 
• Government entities responsible for road maintenance and safety 
• Other motorists or entities  
• Contractors or subcontractors 

Since Massachusetts follows the no-fault car insurance system, you will first file a claim with your own insurance carrier. Then, if you suffered severe injuries or if your damages exceed the value of your insurance coverage, you may be able to pursue compensation against the other party’s insurance provider.

The specific damages you may be entitled to will depend on the uniqueness of your case. In the past, plaintiffs have recovered both economic and non-economic damages, especially in cases where serious injuries are involved. 

Note that under the state’s no-fault insurance laws, your own insurance provider will only settle your economic damages, such as medical expenses and lost wages, up to a certain limit.

The journey to obtaining the compensation you need and deserve after a bus accident can be long and full of twists and turns. You don’t deserve to travel down this road alone. In fact, you should be focusing on recovering from your injuries, not battling insurance companies, claims adjusters, or defense attorneys who only care about their selfish interests, not your pain.
