If you have been involved in a bus or other public transportation accident, the first thing you should do is seek immediate medical attention. If no one is available to call for assistance, you should take matters into your own hands and call 911. Not only could there be a need for medical care, but the accident must be reported to law enforcement so that a proper accident report can be generated. Many states require accident victims to seek medical care within a limited time period or their claims may be denied. Do not lose out on your claim and risk potential injury by adopting a "wait and see attitude". If you have been in a bus accident, get checked out by a doctor immediately, even if you feel like everything is ok. Then contact The Bill Connor Law Firm. In most cases, the bus company will pay for medical expenses of passengers involved in an accident, whether a lawsuit is filed or not. Make sure to retain copies of your medical procedures and all test performed by the acting physicians. In some cases injuries will not display symptoms until days or even weeks later when it could be too late to defend your rights.
