If a school bus, private charter bus, or city government bus crash caused your injury, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can seek compensation for your losses based on the bus driver or bus company’s negligence. If another party is liable, we can name them in your claim or lawsuit instead. We will identify all liable parties in your case.
Comparative Negligence in Bus Accident Cases
Under CC Art. 2323, injury victims can pursue compensation from all potentially liable parties, even if they bear partial liability. However, any damages awarded by the court would decrease by the injured person’s assigned percentage of fault. For example, someone who is 15 percent at fault would have their damages reduced by 15 percent.
Because comparative fault can have a tremendous impact on a case’s value, defendants often attempt to shift blame onto the accident victim to protect their financial interests. A bus accident lawyer in Marksville from our firm can help victims refute such claims and fight for the right to fair compensation.
