Recoverable Damages in a Bus Accident
From hospital bills to property damage, various damages may be recovered in a bus accident. It’s essential to partner with an experienced attorney who is well-versed in personal injury laws to ensure all damages are taken into consideration. Our firm can fight to ensure you’re compensated fairly by seeking to recover full damages on your behalf. Recoverable damages may include:
- Economic damages: These compensate for specific financial losses, such as medical expenses, treatment costs, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and property damage.
- Non-economic damages: These compensate for non-financial losses, such as loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and scarring and disfigurement.
- Punitive damages: In rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the defendant’s behavior involved extreme malice or negligence. Unlike the above damages, punitive damages are awarded as a means of punishing the defendant and deterring future behavior, as opposed to compensating the victim directly.
If you were wrongfully injured in a bus accident, our LA lawyers can fight tirelessly to recover compensation on your behalf. Contact us online to discuss your case.
