Lehigh Acres Bus Accident Lawyer
Whether you were a passenger, cyclist, driver, or other party, being an injured victim in a bus accident is an extremely traumatic event. It is understandable that during this confusing time, you may have questions about what your rights are, and what steps to take. The Lehigh Acres bus accident lawyer at Cardinal Law, P.A., handles all types of bus accident claims, and can help you get to the bottom of what really happened.
Bus Accidents We Handle
Bus accident claims are often more complex than a personal injury claim/lawsuit involving two privately owned motor vehicles. Collisions involving buses run by cities or school districts are usually the most challenging types of traffic collision case for a plaintiff to win, due to the complexities involved in filing a lawsuit with such a large, public entity. Accidents involving buses owned by private companies can also be challenging, though usually less so than an accident with a municipally run bus. However, no matter the type of bus accident you were injured in, we are confident in our ability to win your case if the other party was responsible for causing the crash.
