After someone’s negligent actions caused a bus crash, you have a right to hold the liable party accountable for your serious injuries. An Allison Park bus accident lawyer at Berger and Green will help you understand your options and pursue compensation after a bus driver causes a collision and injuries.
Our personal injury lawyers will use our experience gained from serving tens of thousands of clients to develop a compelling case for maximum compensation based on the details of your accident. We provide a free consultation. Contact us today.
The damages available to you depend on your car insurance policy and legal options, the costs and losses you experienced, the insurance coverage available from the bus owner, and the severity of your injuries.
You can count on our team to identify, document, and pursue compensation for the economic and non-economic damages you experienced because of your accident. Some of the types of damages commonly suffered in a bus accident include:
Economic damages refer to the financial losses you have experienced as a result of the bus crash. These include:
Non-economic losses do not have a direct financial value. These refer to the emotional and mental harm the crash caused. These intangible losses may include:
If a loved one passed away because of a bus crash, our wrongful death lawyers are here to help you seek both economic and non-economic losses associated with your loved one’s death.
Because of Pennsylvania’s wrongful death laws, our team generally works with the personal representative, sometimes called the executor or administrator of the estate. This is the only party that can file a wrongful death action for the first six months after the victim passes away. After that period, any of the eligible beneficiaries can sue for the family.
Eligible beneficiaries in these personal injury cases include:
These are generally the family members who may recover damages in a wrongful death case. However, in some situations, other relatives may also be eligible to seek compensation, particularly if they were financially dependent on the victim and are the closest surviving family members. Our attorneys may be able to help you during this difficult time; all you have to do is call our team for a free consultation.

Determining fault and liability following a bus accident can be complex. Some factors that could play a role include:
When a bus driver causes an injury accident, their employer is often liable. Some possibilities in Allison Park include:
Our attorneys know how to identify fault and liability, including determining if a government agency might be responsible for your crash injuries.
When a bus hits a pedestrian, the injuries could be life-altering. An pedestrian accident lawyer from our team knows how to document your injuries, prognosis, and lasting impairments.
When we manage a bus accident case, we need convincing evidence to show that you have a right to pursue fault-based damages and recover money for a wide range of damages. This requires us to take many steps, which could include:
Once we have the evidence necessary, our team will:
Generally, we may have up to two years to file a lawsuit based on Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. However, many bus accident cases involve government agencies. When this occurs, special laws may apply that include shorter deadlines and require you to notify the agency of your intent to file a claim in weeks or months, not years.
Because of this, we need to know about your case as soon as possible. Contact us when your injuries allow.
