Understanding Bus Accidents in New Hampshire

Bus accidents, though less common than car accidents, can have devastating consequences. In 2022, there were 15,033 bus accidents across the country, with 219 resulting in fatalities. In New Hampshire, 30 bus accidents occurred, causing injuries to four people. These accidents can be caused by various factors such as traffic, construction, bad weather, other drivers’ mistakes, or even errors by the bus driver.

Bus companies, designated as common carriers, have a heightened responsibility to care for their passengers. However, despite their best efforts, accidents still happen. Injuries from bus accidents can be severe, including broken bones, burns, paralysis, disfigurement, and even death. The lack of restraints on many buses, including school buses, increases the risk of serious injuries during a crash.

What To Do After a Bus Accident

If you are involved in a bus accident, it is crucial to take specific steps to protect your rights and ensure your well-being. First, seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Keep all medical records as they will be important for your case.

Avoid speaking to any insurance company, including your own, until you have hired a lawyer. Insurance companies often aim to settle quickly, offering amounts that may not cover all your expenses. By having a lawyer on your side, you can ensure that your interests are protected, and you receive the compensation you deserve.

The Legal Responsibility of Bus Companies

Bus companies have a legal duty to ensure the safety of their passengers. However, after an accident, many companies rely on insurance settlements to quickly resolve claims. Unfortunately, these settlements often fall short of covering the extensive costs associated with bus accidents. These costs can include medical treatments, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, job changes, and lost wages.

Victims have rights under the law, and with the help of an injury attorney, they can exercise these rights fully. At Tenn And Tenn, PA, we have the experience and dedication needed to fight for your rights and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

Mistakes to Avoid After a Bus Accident in New Hampshire

If you have been injured in a bus accident in New Hampshire, it is important to avoid certain mistakes that could harm your case. At Tenn And Tenn, PA, we are here to help guide you through the process and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Here are some common mistakes to avoid and how our firm can assist you.

Hiring a Lawyer Who Is Not a Trial Attorney

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is hiring a lawyer who is not a trial attorney. Insurance companies are well aware of which lawyers are willing to take a case to trial and which are not. If your lawyer is not prepared to go to court, the insurance company might offer a lower settlement, knowing there is less risk of a legal battle. At Tenn And Tenn, PA, we are trial attorneys who are not afraid to take your case to court if necessary. Our readiness to go to trial ensures that the insurance companies take your claim seriously and offer a fair settlement.

Not Getting Immediate Medical Treatment

After a bus accident, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately, even if you do not feel hurt. Some injuries may not show symptoms right away, and delaying treatment can make your injuries worse. Moreover, medical records provide important evidence for your case. By seeing a doctor right away, you not only protect your health but also strengthen your legal claim. Tenn And Tenn, PA can help you understand the importance of timely medical care and ensure you have the documentation needed for your case.

Not Following Doctor’s Orders or Skipping Treatments

Following your doctor’s orders and attending all recommended treatments is essential. Skipping appointments or not following medical advice can harm your health and weaken your case. Insurance companies might argue that you are not as injured as you claim if you do not follow through with your treatment plan.

Talking to the Insurance Company Without a Lawyer

Another critical mistake is talking to the insurance company without a lawyer. Insurance adjusters may seem friendly and helpful, but their goal is to minimize the amount the company pays out. Anything you say to them can be used to reduce your claim. It is best to let your lawyer handle all communications with the insurance company. At Tenn And Tenn, PA, we will manage these discussions on your behalf, protecting your rights and working to secure the best possible outcome for your case.
