Understanding Compensation in Florida Bus Accident Cases

Compensation for bus accident injuries in Florida can cover a range of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. However, the process depends on the type of bus involved—whether it’s a public transit bus, a private charter, or a school bus. Florida’s laws, including sovereign immunity for government-operated buses, can limit recovery to $200,000 per claim unless specific conditions are met. Private bus companies, on the other hand, may have higher liability, but proving fault requires thorough investigation.

Steps to Secure Compensation

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the priority. Document all injuries and follow your doctor’s treatment plan.

  2. Gather Evidence: Collect photos, witness statements, and police reports from the accident scene.

  3. File a Claim Promptly: Florida has a four-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, but government-related claims may have shorter deadlines.

  4. Consult an Experienced Attorney: Bus accident cases often involve multiple parties, such as the bus driver, the company, or another motorist. An attorney can identify liable parties and negotiate with insurance companies.

At Kaiser Romanello, our skilled attorneys have extensive experience handling bus accident claims across Florida. We fight to maximize your compensation, whether dealing with private companies or navigating government immunity laws.

Common Challenges in Bus Accident Claims

Bus accident cases can be complex due to multiple liable parties or disputes over fault. For example, in the 2024 Marion County farmworker bus crash, a pickup truck driver’s DUI led to significant injuries, complicating liability. Language barriers or immigration status concerns, common among H-2A visa workers, can also make pursuing compensation intimidating. Our team at Kaiser Romanello is dedicated to overcoming these hurdles, offering compassionate and multilingual support.
