Bus passengers or passenger car drivers may be able to file an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit if they incurred damages in a bus accident caused by a negligent party.
Let Us Evaluate the Cost of Your Bus Accident
The New Orleans bus accident attorneys at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers understand that every accident is different, and each of our clients has unique needs. As such, we focus on building a unique case tailored to your specific situation. After a bus accident, you might incur medical bills, lost income, and other financial expenses and losses, which may be compensable.
If our legal team can prove negligence on the part of the bus driver or bus company, you might be able to collect the following compensable expenses:
- Accident-related medical expenses (past and future)
- Accident-related loss of income (past and future)
- Pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional turmoil
- Property repair or replacement costs
- Wrongful death damages (e.g., funeral and burial costs and loss of companionship)
As you physically recover from a bus accident, it can be easy to overlook small expenses related to your injuries. Keep careful track of all the expenses and losses you incur from the bus accident.
Our lawyer may use the bills, receipts, and estimates you collect after the accident—along with your medical records—to estimate the total cost of the potential financial compensation. Such bills may include seemingly small expenses, such as public transportation or taxi fares, replacement of property damaged in the accident, and day-to-day expenses that you incur due to lack of mobility.
