Before you can recover compensation for a bus accident in Nevada, you must identify the at-fault party. Nevada uses a tort-based system, meaning the driver or party responsible for causing the accident will also be responsible for paying for damages. You or your lawyer will need to determine the cause of your bus accident before you can file a claim.
These are some of the most common causes of Las Vegas bus accidents. Whether you were a bus rider, a third-party driver, a bicyclist or a pedestrian, you could have serious injuries from a bus accident. Work with the attorneys at Koch & Brim, LLP to learn the cause of the collision and determine liability.
Bus accident cases are unique compared to typical Las Vegas car accidents. Rather than holding the at-fault driver responsible, you could hold the bus company liable based on the doctrine of vicarious liability. This doctrine holds employers responsible for the negligence of their employees. A bus company in Las Vegas could be liable if it or one of its drivers caused your crash. On a bus such as a Greyhound, the company will be liable. On a school bus, the private school or the county will be liable. On a public bus such as the RTC, the government will be liable. Determining the correct defendant in your case may take help from a bus accident attorney in Las Vegas.
Once your lawyer determines fault, he or she can demand maximum compensation on your behalf. Compensation for a bus accident could include both economic and noneconomic damages. An award could cover your past and future medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, property losses, and other losses. Discuss the value of your bus accident case with our attorneys today.
