Utah Bus Accident Attorney

If you have been injured in a bus crash in the state of Utah, selecting the correct attorney is critical in your claim. You need to choose an attorney who has experience in dealing with commercial vehicles and understands the different laws that apply to people and operators of a commercial vehicle. There are different rules that apply to these vehicles that don’t apply to smaller cars. At Swenson & Shelley, we’ve dealt with a number of these crashes before. We understand the different rules, and we understand the ways to hold drivers of commercial vehicles responsible for the injuries that they cause.

If you’ve been injured in a bus accident in the state of Utah, you might get asked to give a recorded statement to insurance adjusters, insurance attorneys, or their representatives. You are not required to do that. I would recommend that you talk to an attorney before you give any kind of recorded statement. The reason I do that is because they’re going to ask the questions, and they’re going to control the conversation in the way that they want to, and they’re going to try to indicate that you’re not hurt or if you are hurt, you’re not as hurt as you think you are, or you’re doing better, or you did something in the crash that you shouldn’t have been doing. Their entire purpose is to say the value of your case is not what it’s really worth.

If you have been injured by a bus in the state of Utah, there are some differences that are important that our clients need to be aware of. First, buses are typically much larger than the objects or the vehicles that they strike, and so the forces are different. You need to understand what those forces are and how that impacts the type of injuries that you sustain and how severe those injuries are.

Second, you’re typically dealing with a corporate policy, which typically carry higher insurance limits, so there usually is a greater amount of insurance to cover the injuries you sustain. A third issue is, lots of times, buses are owned by either states or cities, or municipalities or school districts, which are governmental agencies, and if the bus that injured you is owned by a governmental agency, there are different rules that apply. You have a shorter amount of time to bring a claim. There are certain steps you have to take, and if you fail to take any of those steps, you could lose your right to make a claim.

If you’ve been involved in a bus crash in the state of Utah, there are a number of things that we would recommend you do. Number one, we recommend that you report the injury to the bus driver as soon as you can. Let the bus driver know that you have been injured so that a report can be created and the bus company is put on notice. Second, we recommend that you go and seek the medical care of good doctors who can help you get started on the path of healing and recovery. Third, we recommend that you consult with a personal injury attorney who has handled bus crashes.

If your child was injured on a school bus, whether or not your child can bring a claim depends on a number of factors. First, we need to do an investigation and try to determine what the cause of the injury was. Was it caused by the bus driver? Was it caused by the school itself? Was it caused by another student that was on the bus? The second thing that needs to be understood is that schools usually are covered by governmental immunity, and the amount of time that your child has to bring a claim against the school could be shortened, and several steps need to be followed in order to be able to bring a claim against a school district.

If you’ve been injured in a bus crash in the state of Utah, you might be wondering if your case is going to go to trial. That is a question that we get from a lot of our clients. In the beginning of a case, it’s really hard to determine this. It depends on a number of factors. One of the big ones is the insurance company making you a fair offer to settle your case. In a lot of situations, insurance companies are unwilling to make a fair offer. When that happens, we are ready and prepared to go to trial. We help our clients be prepared and comfortable with the trial process so that they know exactly what a trial is going to be and what their involvement is, and we help our clients step by step through the trial process.

If you’re trying to figure out what a bus injury case is worth, understand that that’s a very tough question to answer. Some of the things that need to be looked at are the severity of the injury, the length of time that you suffer from the injury, how well you recover, and how well you’re able to get back to work and do the things that you love to do. These are all things that are very difficult to know at the beginning of a case and develop as the case goes along.
