Dealing With Jacksonville Insurance Companies To Protect Your Rights
While we support our clients with compassion and care, we adopt a different tone when leading settlement negotiations and communications with the at-fault party or their insurers. We want to ensure your settlement is appropriate for the harm you have suffered, whereas most insurance companies will seek to protect their profit margins when it comes to paying out on claims.
Enabling Access to Justice and Compensation in Your Jacksonville Bus Accident Case
We never ask our clients to pay upfront fees, as we provide our legal services on a contingency-fee basis. This means we only collect payment from you after we have secured your compensation. Simply put, you owe us nothing unless we win your case.
Compensation Available in Jacksonville Bus Accident Injury Lawsuits
Compensation for bus accidents varies for every case, as no two accidents are identical. However, as a general guide, the following types of financial damages are available:
- Medical bills: The cost of your doctor’s appointments, hospital stays, ambulance rides, medications, assistive devices, surgery, and medical testing are all compensable.
- Rehabilitation costs: Physiotherapy, counseling, and occupational therapy are expensive. We can seek compensation to pay for the cost of your rehabilitation expenses. If you need in-home care to support your recovery, you can request compensation for this expense, as well.
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity: In some instances, your injuries will prevent you from returning to work. You may also be limited when it comes to the type of work you can do. If your injuries prevent you from earning money, our team can request compensation to make up for your lost income and reduced capacity to make a living.
- Pain and suffering: Bus accident injuries may lead to significant physical pain and suffering. You could recover compensation for the pain and suffering you endured.
- Lost or damaged property: If your car sustained damage after a bus accident in Jacksonville, you may be able to recover compensation to pay for the cost of repairs or vehicle replacement.
- Wrongful death: If your loved one passed away in a bus accident, our team can explain how to file a wrongful death case. Generally, you can seek compensation for your loved one’s funeral and burial.
You Have a Limited Amount of Time To File a Bus Accident Lawsuit in Jacksonville
It is important to be mindful of Jacksonville laws limiting the amount of time you file a personal injury lawsuit. For example, if you are injured in a bus accident, you typically have four years to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party per Florida Statutes § 95.11. Similarly, the statute of limitations for wrongful death actions in Jacksonville is two years in most cases per Florida Statutes § 95.11.
