Who Can Be Held Liable After a Bus Accident in Atlantic City, NJ?
The bus driver, bus company or operator, a public transit agency, the other driver, or several parties may be liable after a bus accident in Atlantic City. Responsibility depends on whose careless actions caused the crash or helped set it in motion.
When drivers give different accounts, police reports, witness statements, available video, and bus company records can help establish what happened. These materials may show vehicle movements, driver behavior, and whether someone failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the crash.
If the bus belongs to a public transit agency, special claim notice rules may apply. New Jersey generally requires written notice within 90 days for claims against public entities. Identifying the operator early helps you determine which deadline applies to your claim.
After a motor vehicle crash, New Jersey Personal Injury Protection coverage generally pays eligible medical bills regardless of fault. The amount your policy pays depends on its terms, coverage limits, and any deductible, and coverage may vary depending on whether you were a passenger or driver.
Beyond medical bills, a claim against a responsible party may cover lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses allowed by law. What you can recover depends on the insurance coverage available and how the accident affected you.
Because New Jersey follows modified comparative negligence, you may still recover damages if you share fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. You cannot recover damages if you are more at fault than the parties you are seeking payment from combined.
Before you file a claim, a bus accident lawyer can identify who the claim should be filed against and which insurance policies may apply. An attorney can also handle communication with insurers while you focus on your recovery.
