San Francisco Military Bus Accident Lawyer
Military Bus Accidents in California
Members of the military can hold the mistaken belief that once involved in a bus accident, they are not permitted to retain the services of a San Francisco bus accident attorney or sue a private company. Neither of these ideas are true for all military personnel or every case.
That is why it is important to consult with an experienced attorney from The Matiasic Firm who knows the laws concerning military personnel and how they may apply in your case. Over the past several years, we have recovered over $12,000,000 for our clients, including what is considered to be the largest personal injury/wrongful death verdict in the history of Madera County.
Depending on the circumstance surrounding your accident, you may be eligible to make claims for various forms of compensation including:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of wages
- Hospital and other medical care and treatment, including your future needs
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Loss of consortium (the services of a spouse who was injured)
- Impairment of earning capacity
- Punitive damages
- Wrongful death
Through our investigation and legal inquiries, we work to determine the specific cause of your accident. Once this is correctly identified, we strive to take aggressive action to pursue all possible claims on your behalf.
Causes of Bus Accidents
Bus accidents can occur as a result of hazardous road conditions, texting bus drivers, maintenance issues and defective parts, or driver negligence and error. For an individual serving in the military, a spinal cord injury, paralysis, a traumatic brain injury or ever severe burns can mean at least a temporary halt in your ability to serve. For others, it can mean the end of a career. It is vital, therefore, that you have the protection of a firm who not only understands the laws but has the demonstrated ability to successfully apply them.
