Bus Accident Settlements and Your North Bellmore Case
The first thing you should know about your compensation is that there is no meaningful average settlement amount for bus accident cases. This is because each individual claim, when properly prosecuted, has so many factors that are specific to that case that must be taken into consideration to determine a case value, that simply averaging cases based on the shared characteristic of having originated as a bus accident, provides no helpful information. We will calculate the right settlement for you based on many factors, including the following:
- Your physical injury symptoms and how badly they have disrupted your life
- Any emotional trauma you experienced because of the crash and/or your injuries
- The fact that you cannot currently (or ever again) live your life as you chose because of disabling injuries
- The past or future loss of income and benefits from your job(s)
- Past and future medical expenses
- The loss of personal property, especially a car

The Parties Involved in a North Bellmore Bus Accident
Any legal action will involve many different parties, but bus accident cases typically involve more parties than other cases. Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will identify and speak with everyone involved in your case, including:
The Party Who Caused the Bus Crash
Whether they are the careless driver of a Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) bus, a negligent corporation, or even the local government (which is responsible for maintaining the community’s roadways), the at-fault party chose to behave in a way that put others in danger. Your legal action will target this party.
The Liable Party’s Lawyers
The liable party will likely seek legal representation right after the accident happens. If they are a large organization, they may already have lawyers on hand to deal with lawsuits.
These attorneys, naturally, will have their client’s best interests in mind, not yours. Our personal injury attorneys will do the same for you, keeping your priorities top of mind and doing everything possible to advocate for you.
The Court With Jurisdiction Over Your North Bellmore Case
You need to file your case with the correct court and, if the insurance company will not offer an appropriate settlement, take your case to trial in that court. We will identify the right court for you and file and receive all paperwork.
The Liable Party’s Accident Insurance Company
The at-fault party will probably not pay for your damages out of pocket. Rather, their insurer will investigate your case and determine what (or if) to pay you.
Insurance companies are often hesitant to pay fair settlements. To keep them from taking advantage of your inexperience, we will talk to and negotiate with them for you. if and when they make a settlement offer, we will evaluate that offer with you.
