Were you or a loved one injured in a recent bus accident? If you were a passenger on the bus, a pedestrian, or another driver involved in the collision, our personal injury law firm can help. We will investigate the crash, document your injuries, and prove your right to financial recovery. We will also identify the at-fault party to ensure you seek compensation from the appropriate defendant.
At GED Lawyers, our Massachusetts bus accident lawyer will hold the bus driver, the bus company, or the company who manufactured the bus responsible for the financial aftermath of your accident. You do not have to build your case on your own or determine where to turn for compensation. We will identify the at-fault party for you and pursue recoverable damages for your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
How Our Law Firm Builds Your Personal Injury Case
Bus accident cases can be complex right from the beginning, because it can be difficult to identify the at-fault party. Our law firm will determine how to appropriately assign liability, which is necessary to prove negligence.
Establishing negligence requires proving duty, breach, causation, and damages. Our law firm will do this with the evidence we collect to build your file. In addition, we will:
- Investigate the cause of the crash
- Assess its financial consequences
- Handle all case-related communication
- Compile and organize supporting evidence
- Locate and interview lay and expert witnesses
We will also handle the negotiation process on your behalf and represent you in court if a settlement agreement cannot be reached.
Leave Evidence Collection to Our Bus Accident Team
A robust evidence file can help steer your case toward a monetary settlement versus a trial. At GED Lawyers, we do not tax you and your family with compiling the evidence we need to support your case.
Our evidence collection team will obtain all of the following for you:
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Written prognosis
- Salary history
- Bus accident report
- Injury photos
- Accident scene photos
- Lay witness statements
- Expert witness statements
The majority of personal injury cases are settled without going to court when the evidence proves liability. Our goal when collecting evidence for you is to prove the at-fault party is responsible for compensating you.

Time Limits on Your Right to Recover Damages
If your bus accident case cannot be settled out of court, you may have to go to trial for resolution. The following time limits will apply to your potential lawsuit:
- Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260, Section 2A generally imposes a three-year statute of limitations on personal injury cases. This filing deadline will apply if you or someone you love sustained injuries, property damage, or both in the accident.
- Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 229, Section 2 generally imposes a three-year statute of limitations on wrongful death cases. This filing deadline will apply if a family member was fatally injured in the accident.
Filing deadlines may differ if your accident involved a city or transit bus. You might also have notification deadlines that require mandatory compliance. Our bus accident attorney will protect your right to take your case to court by ensuring your lawsuit is filed on time.
