Causes and Liability of Bus Accidents

Like any other type of motor vehicle crash, bus accidents can have several causes. Many times, this is due to negligence on the part of the bus driver, company, or another driver. Some examples of negligent behavior include:

Speeding
Reckless driving
Failure to yield
Distracted driving
Driving under the influence
Drowsy driving
Inexperience

Since New Jersey is a no-fault state, no matter if another driver or your bus driver caused the accident, the first step will be to seek compensation for your medical expenses through the bus company’s insurance. However, if you are seriously injured, you could seek damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, and permanent disability from the at-fault driver.

Claims Against New Jersey Transit

If you were hurt in a bus crash on a New Jersey transit bus, you will need to follow specific procedures to recover compensation. Within 90 days of the accident, you will need to file a “Notice of Tort Claim.” After providing this notice to the state, you will need to wait six months before you can file a lawsuit for your damages. During that time, the state will investigate your claim and may offer a settlement.

If your injuries occurred while riding a city bus, quick action is vital. Our Perth Amboy lawyer may help you make a timely bus accident claim and lawsuit filing. We could also negotiate a settlement, advocating for fair compensation on your behalf.

Getting Fair Compensation for Your Bus Accident Injuries

Recovering compensation when you are the passenger in a bus crash can be confusing, particularly if you are also trying to recuperate from your injuries. You need to understand the ins and outs of state insurance laws, identify the proper party to file a claim against, and determine how much your damages are worth.

A bus accident attorney may take on this burden, using their experience to efficiently handle your claim. Our lawyers could investigate the cause of the crash, gather evidence to support your case, and deal with the insurance companies. If your case is against New Jersey Transit, we may also assist you with filing a notice and negotiating with the state. If negotiations fail, we are ready to take your case to court and represent you during trial.
