How Our Attorneys Handle Government and Private Bus Accident Liability
Our Ocala bus accident attorneys understand the diverse ways injuries can occur in bus accidents and the range of injuries involved. We can help you pursue compensation for serious and catastrophic injuries that happened when:
- You were a bus passenger
- A bus driver collided with your car
- A bus driver hit you as a pedestrian or cyclist
Ocala bus accidents could involve government-run buses, school buses, corporate buses, or private coaches.
When the bus is owned or operated by a government entity such as a city or school system, government liability may come into play. Special laws apply in these cases. There could be additional guidelines and earlier deadlines to meet. However, our attorneys know how to navigate this process and seek fair compensation for you. This could happen if the bus belonged to:
- SunTran, which serves Ocala and Marion County
- Marion County Public Schools (MCPS)
Most other types of buses operating in Ocala are privately owned. In these cases, the vicarious liability of the private bus company is often a question. If a bus driver acts negligently and causes an accident, the employer may be liable under the legal doctrine of respondeat superior.
This means we file a claim for compensation against the private company’s liability policy instead of one carried by the individual driver.
Compensation Our Lawyers Pursue for Injured Bus Accident Victims
Bus accident injuries often cause significant impairment, whether temporarily or permanently. This can play a major role in the value of these cases. Our attorneys aim to identify and document a full range of recoverable damages when we represent an injured client.
Depending on the expenses and losses you incurred and the injuries you suffered, we could pursue compensation for economic and non-economic damages that include:
- Medical Care: This may cover your medical treatment, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and other related expenses resulting from your accident injuries.
- Lost Income: You can recover compensation for the time missed at work and diminished earning capacity if you cannot return to your previous job.
- Future Expenses: We work with experts to understand your prognosis and estimate your future care expenses.
- Property Damage: We can seek money to repair or replace a damaged vehicle or other personal property.
- Pain and Suffering: Non-economic losses for your emotional damages are recoverable in a bus accident case.
If your loved one passed away from injuries suffered in an Ocala bus crash, our Ocala wrongful death lawyer is here for you. We can help you understand how Florida’s laws work, who can file a wrongful death lawsuit, and who can recover compensation. These cases require us to prove liability, just like injury cases. This process can be complex, but we have the necessary experience and skills.

The Importance of Hiring an Ocala Bus Accident Lawyer Promptly
Contact our law firm promptly after sustaining accident injuries in Ocala. We can begin building a case in the first hours and days after an accident. Some evidence may be more difficult or impossible to preserve as time passes, so the earlier we know about your accident, the better.
Video of a collision, eyewitness statements, and evidence from the accident scene can play key roles in these cases and may not be available or as detailed if we must wait several weeks or months. We can obtain official records and reports, act to preserve evidence held by the bus operator, and take other steps to support your case against the liable party or parties.
Hiring our team early after a bus accident ensures you do not have to deal with insurance companies or other parties trying to contact you about the incident. When you hire our team, we manage all communication about your case. We ensure they contact us to discuss your claim. You should not have to deal with:
- Requests for information
- Lowball settlement offers
- Any other calls or emails from insurers or other involved parties
We want you to focus on your treatment and healing and avoid the stress that often comes with facing serious accident injuries and pursuing compensation.
