Our "No Win, No Fee" Promise for Bus Accident Victims
When you need a Valdosta, GA, bus accident lawyer, you shouldn't have to worry about paying fees upfront. Our Georgia accident injury law firm works on what's known as a "contingency fee" basis. That means you don't pay us anything if we don't win your case.
Research has shown that you only have around a 50/50 chance of obtaining a small settlement if you represent yourself in a personal injury claim. With a Valdosta public transit accident lawyer in your corner, you nearly double your odds of obtaining a settlement, and that settlement, on average, will likely be as much as four times more money than you can win on your own.
The Graham Firm does not collect a deposit or any upfront fees. If you choose us to represent your injury claim, we pay all case costs from the beginning. We only collect a fee as a percentage of the final settlement or judgment. If we don't win, you don't pay! We offer expert legal counsel to anyone injured in an accident caused by another person's negligence, no matter their financial situation.
Call us today at (229) 444-6033 for a free consultation and speak to a lawyer in Valdosta to find out how much your case could be worth.
What Our Clients Say
Know Your Rights After a Bus Crash in Georgia
If negligence or carelessness by someone else caused your injuries, you have the right under Georgia law to be paid for those injuries and losses. In a successful personal injury lawsuit, you can be compensated for your ongoing and future medical bills and expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Our accident compensation checklist explains this in more detail. Courts can also impose punitive damages if we prove that the other driver acted with extreme negligence.
Most of the buses we encounter in Lowndes County are government-owned. This can make pursuing compensation for your injuries more challenging. The rules are different when compared to an accident with another private citizen. One important thing to know is that you shouldn't speak to the bus company's insurance adjuster without talking to a personal injury attorney in Valdosta first. Adjusters will always try to offer you a "lowball" settlement.
Talk to a top-rated bus accident attorney now by dialing (229) 444-6033. An experienced personal injury lawyer can explain your rights and options with a free review of your case.
Important Things to Do After Any Motor Vehicle Collision
Building the strongest personal injury case possible can depend on the actions you take immediately after a bus, truck, or car accident. Follow these important steps after a crash.
- Safety First: Check yourself and any passengers for injuries. Move to a safe location off the roadway if possible.
- Call 911: Police will investigate the incident and file an official report, which will be important evidence for your case.
- Collect Information: Exchange insurance and contact information with other drivers. Get the names and phone numbers of any witnesses who saw it happen.
- Record the Scene: Take videos and pictures of the accident with your phone. Try to show where it happened, damage to vehicles, injuries, and road conditions. It's important to do this BEFORE emergency responders arrive and start altering the scene, if possible.
- See a Doctor: Even if you feel fine after a crash, you should see a physician. With whiplash and other injuries, you may not feel any pain immediately.
- Don't Say It's Your Fault: Do not apologize to anyone at the accident scene. Avoid saying anything that might imply that it was your fault.
If you've been in any type of motor vehicle collision, get advice on what to do next by calling (229) 444-6033 to protect your rights.
Types of Bus Accident Cases We Handle For Lowndes County Residents
Different types of buses can present different legal challenges. For many government-owned buses, the statute of limitations in Georgia is 12 months to file your claim. This means if you wait longer than one year to take legal action, you forfeit the right to any money for your injuries. Our Georgia accident injury law firm handles injury cases involving the following types of buses:
- Valdosta On-Demand city buses
- Southern Georgia Regional Commission Transit buses
- Valdosta State University shuttle buses
- Lowndes County school buses
- Airport and hotel shuttle buses
- Private charter buses, party buses, and tour buses
When The Graham Firm handles your personal injury claim, our team of accident reconstructionists and experts will fully investigate the crash. We build powerful cases for our clients and seek maximum compensation from every at-fault entity involved in the accident.
Our legal team also has more than 20 years of experience in handling big truck accident cases, which can be similar to bus collisions. Our experience with the trucking industry can give you an advantage in a claim involving a commercial bus.
No matter what size of bus caused your accident, you can get expert legal counsel today by calling our Georgia bus and truck accident law firm at (229) 444-6033.
