"John came to our house and went over the legal part of it thoroughly and quickly, but he always made it more about us. I would recommend them to anybody because they’re going to make sure that you’re protected. It just always felt like we were dealing with family instead of a legal process."

Representing You in Negotiations

After compiling your case and establishing liability, we can represent your case in official communication with other parties, their attorneys, and insurance companies.

In some cases, the negotiations might not result in the desired outcome. Our attorneys can represent your case at trial if we cannot reach an agreeable settlement.

Ky. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230 generally provides two years from the accident date, the final PIP payment, or your loved one’s death to file a lawsuit after a bus accident. However, the exact timeline for your case may vary.

Your case may be dismissed if you fail to file your lawsuit within this timeline. Therefore, you will want to start building your case immediately to protect your right to compensation. Our bus accident lawyers can ensure your case is filed promptly to avoid dismissal.

Liability in a Louisville Bus Accident Case

Determining liability in a bus accident can be tricky. Multiple parties can be liable for your collision, such as:

The bus driver
A passenger
The bus driver’s employer
The bus manufacturer
A maintenance company
A third-party driver or pedestrian

For instance, the employer might be responsible for infrequent bus maintenance or inadequate driver training. On the other hand, bus drivers might be liable if the accident was caused by their negligent driving, such as:

Speeding
Tailgating
Failure to adhere to road signs and lights
Distracted driving, such as talking to a passenger or operating electronic devices
Fatigued driving
Driving under the influence
Failure to yield the right of way

Furthermore, the employer can also be vicariously liable for an accident caused by its driver’s negligence.
