Denver Bus Accident Lawyer

Many people rely on public transportation to get to work, run errands, and spend time with family and friends. In the United States, buses are the most widely used mode of public transportation. 

Denver alone has over 1,000 buses in service, helping people get where they need to go. Although buses are a convenient way to get around, they also come with risks and come with their own set of dangers and challenges. Having Denver bus accident lawyers to help you navigate the legal process can alleviate some of the stress that comes with bus accidents.

With that in mind, consider reaching out to Zinda Law Group’s Denver personal injury lawyers to discuss your right to post-bus accident compensation.

Reacting to a Denver Bus Accident

Should you find yourself involved in a Denver, CO, bus accident, you should take concentrated steps to protect yourself from additional harm. While still at the accident scene, you can:

• Seek medical attention
• Contact the police
• Document the scene
• Take photos
• Speak with witnesses
• Write down your observations

The more effort you can put into an initial assessment of your accident scene, the simpler it may be to assign liability for your losses, should you choose to take your case to civil court. That said, do not push yourself to exceed the limitations set by your injuries. The last thing you want to do after an accident is exacerbate your injuries.

You can always call a bus accident attorney in Denver to an active accident scene to secure representation. Our team can help you gather the evidence that may later prove relevant to conversations about liability and the accident damages you deserve.

Taking Your Bus Accident Losses to Civil Court

If you want to hold the party responsible for your bus accident accountable for their negligence, you can work with Zinda Law Group to open a civil case against that offender. Several factors may complicate your pursuit of justice through Denver’s civil courts, though, including the following:

• Bus accident-related injuries
• The type of bus involved in your accident
• Uncooperative or unresponsive insurance providers
• Belligerent liable parties

Fortunately, our team in Denver has decades of experience navigating the civil court system. We can sit down with you after an accident and discuss whether or not the circumstances that led to your crash may entitle you to compensation. We can then outline our strategy for composing and defending your civil claim before a judge.

How to Assign Fault After a Bus Accident

You need to know who or what you can hold liable for a bus accident before you bring a claim to a civil judge. As such, you can work with a Denver, CO, bus accident lawyer to determine what evidence of liability you have in the wake of a crash.

In some cases, you can hold a private charter company liable for accidents involving privately-operated vehicles. Individual drivers rarely assume liability for accidents as they constitute on-duty employees in the eyes of the court. Similarly, accidents caused by government employees driving public buses can see the city assume liability for your accident.

If the evidence seems to identify a business or the city of Denver as the party liable for your bus accident, don’t panic. Our team knows how to address these parties’ legal teams and can interface with them on your behalf. We can also help you hold other parties, including a bus’s manufacturer or mechanic, liable for your crash if the opportunity to do so arises.

How to Request Bus Accident Damages

Colorado puts a cap on the amount of time you can take to investigate your losses and file a related claim. Colorado Revised Statutes section 13-80-102(1)(a) gives you no more than two years to bring a claim assigning liability for your losses forward before a civil judge.

While there are exceptions to that statute of limitations, it’s still in your best interest to file your claim long before your statute of limitations expires. Denver’s courts can throw out your case, regardless of the evidence it contains, if you file it after your right to a case expires.

How to Interact With an Insurance Provider After a Bus Accident

You have the right to file a claim with your insurance provider while fighting for accident compensation in Denver’s civil court system. That said, your insurance provider’s claims adjusters are more likely to protect their employer’s bottom line than they are to take your losses seriously.

In the pursuit of your insurance claim, you may find that a provider refuses to acknowledge the severity of your losses. If this is the case, or if the provider denies your claim outright, let a Denver bus accident attorney know. We can appeal that denial or even take your insurance provider to civil court on bad faith charges.

In either case, you can count on Zinda Law Group to advocate for your right to the maximum possible bus accident compensation.
