Bus Accident Lawyer

Why Choosing the Right Bus Accident Lawyer Matters

If you’ve been involved in a bus accident in Los Angeles, the lawyer you choose will significantly impact the rest of your life. Bus accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, and these cases require specialized legal expertise. It’s important to work with an attorney who has the experience and resources to secure the maximum compensation for your injuries.

Here’s a common situation:

• Client suffers a severe injury in a bus accident.
• Client hires a generalist law firm.
• Receives a low offer from the insurer that doesn’t cover medical bills.
• Feels pressured to accept or risk losing the case.

How Do I Know I Have a Bus Accident Injury Case?

Not every injury resulting from a bus accident will lead to a successful personal injury claim. In California law, it’s crucial that you received medical treatment for your injuries sustained—and you must be able to prove that a third party was responsible for the accident.

At Peerali Law, we look for factors that can validate and strengthen your claim, such as:

• Police reports or eyewitness statements
• Medical reports, evaluations and expert medical testimony
• Signs of operator negligence
• Signs of bus driver’s negligence, such as texting and driving
• Traffic violations, such as speeding or running a red light
• Bus driver’s fatigue
• Another driver’s negligence
• Inadequate bus driver training or failure to adequately screen drivers
• The bus driver or another driver driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Hazardous road conditions
• Improper loading
• Mechanical defects with the bus
• Adverse weather

When you suffer a catastrophic injury following a bus accident, the case will require a deeper level of legal strategy than standard personal injury claims. The attorney must not only prove liability but also quantify the entire future impact of the injury.

This is the work our firm is built for. If you believe your injury may fall into this category, we can review your case for free and tell you exactly where you stand.

What ifI Am Partially at Fault for My Injuries?

If you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover some compensation. That’s because California is a pure comparative negligence state. 

In California, a party who is partially responsible for the accident that injured them can still recover compensation. However, their compensation will be proportionally reduced by their share of the fault. 

For example, if you were 20% at fault for your bus accident, you can still collect up to 80% of your damages. 

How Much Are the Legal Fees?

At Peerali Law, we operate on a no-win, no-fee model. This means you pay nothing upfront, and you owe us nothing unless we win your case.

Across the United States, contingency fees for personal injury cases generally range from 33%-40%, and may increase if a case goes to trial. Some firms also add extra fees or charge back expenses to the client—often without making this clear at the start of representation.

We don’t believe in hidden costs. Peerali Law provides transparent, written fee agreements so you know exactly what to expect. Many of our clients appreciate that we honor the terms of our contracts—with no surprise charges later. As one client shared in a five-star review:

“I am very happy with the settlement results… Peerali Law firm also did not charge me extra money as agreed upon in the retainer contract. They honored to stay at their minimum fee which meant a lot to me.” — L.F. (Yelp Review)
