A collision between your car and a bus typically results in the vehicle driver sustaining more serious injuries and property damage than the bus operator. Whether your accident involved a city, party, coach, or school bus, our Columbus bus accident lawyer will help you pursue financial damages by identifying the at-fault party and their insurance company.
At Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, we will compile and submit evidence that supports your right to compensation. We help you recover your medical bills, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and more. We will assess the value of your case and negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. Our goal is to settle your case out of court, but we will not hesitate to go to court if necessary.

Let Us Handle Evidence Collection and Submission

Your evidence file will contain:

We Start Building Your Bus Accident Case Immediately
When our bus accident attorney representing clients in Columbus takes on your case, we make sure to comply with North Carolina’s statute of limitations. If you or someone you love was injured in the accident, you generally have up to three years to file your bus accident lawsuit, according to G.S. § 1-52. The clock starts running on the date the accident occurred.
If a loved one was fatally injured in the accident, you generally have up to two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit, according to G.S. § 1-53. However, if the statute of limitations in either type of case expires, you could inadvertently forfeit your right to recover damages.
If the bus accident involves a municipal, city, or state vehicle, we also make sure the proper notifications are made to the appropriate government agency. At Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, we ensure compliance with all filing and notification deadlines. We will not allow your right to seek compensation in or out of court to be jeopardized.
