Bus Accident Case Timeline

Answer:

One question I get asked most often from people that are involved in bus crashes is, how long is this going to take? A lot of people have heard horror stories about their case taking  forever. I tell them every case is a little different, why every case is different, and how every case is different. A lot of times, it comes down to the person’s particular injuries and how that person heals from that injury. One person’s injury might be more extensive. It might require more medical treatment. It might require pain relief injections or surgeries or something that requires ongoing treatment, whereas another person’s might not need that much treatment. The amount of treatment will determine how long your case will take.

The other thing that determines how long a case will take is whether or not the insurance company does the right thing when given the opportunity. Once you’ve gone to the doctor and finished your medical treatment, we’ll take all the evidence, and we’ll give the insurance company an opportunity to do the right thing to financially compensate you for what’s happened. Sometimes the insurance company doesn’t do the right thing. They try to deny or delay or drag it out for whatever reason. That’s why it’s important you get a trial attorney, somebody who can go to trial in front of the judge, in front of the jury, in case the insurance company decides to low ball you. If they do, you’ll have an attorney ready to go to trial if need be, an attorney that’s been with you by your side since day one, who’s been gathering the evidence,  ready to go, because we’ve been ready for this every step of the way.
