How Filing Deadlines Affect Your Right to File a Bus Accident Lawsuit
Your bus accident case could be affected by three varying statutes of limitations. In general, you have:
- Three years to file your personal injury lawsuit, according to Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101
- Two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit, according to Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 13-80-102(d)
If your accident involved a public transit bus or any other bus owned and run by a government agency, you could have additional notification and filing deadlines, per Colo. Rev. Stat. § 24-10-109.
Our bus accident attorney will help you understand the filing deadline and avoid the costly consequences of missing it.
Why We Prove the Negligence That Entitles You to Financial Recovery After a Bus Crash
You can only recover damages for an accident that resulted from another person’s or entity’s negligence. At Matlin Injury Law, our bus accident lawyer serving Parker will prove that the bus driver, company, or other at-fault party:
- Owed you a legal duty of care.
- Breached their legal obligation.
- Caused your accident and injuries.
- Caused your financial losses.
A bus crash can have multiple at-fault parties—the bus driver, company, manufacturer, parts manufacturer, or government agency. Our investigation will identify all at-fault parties and take on multiple insurers on your behalf.
Our Investigation Will Create the Strongest Possible Evidence Collection
A solid evidence file will tell the story of your accident, including the sequence of events before and after the collision. To bolster and support your case, we will compile:
- Evidence related to the accident, including police reports, witness statements, accident reconstruction reports, photos, and video footage.
- Evidence related to your compensation request, including medical records and bills, proof of income, and property repair or replacement estimates.
- Evidence related to the bus, including repair, inspection, and maintenance records, driver license and training records, and route information.
Focus on getting better and leave the hard work of building your case to us. We work hard to give every case the individual attention and attention to detail it needs and deserves.
