Why hire MRH for bus accident claims?
Group 9 Group 9

Our Kansas City bus accident lawyers have proven success against buses operators, including appellate decisions in our favor.

Through our 40+ combined years of experience, we’ve learned the details of who you can sue, how to present your claim, and how to stay within the complicated timelines of the cities and municipalities who run the buses.

We have a successful blueprint for crafting your most compelling story. It starts with establishing the number one rule of the road: drivers must pay attention. It’s highly likely the bus driver in your case was driving distracted which means someone must pay out.

That’s why we dig deeper to uncover the full story, fight harder to protect your outcome, and take care of you throughout the entire process.

How can I know MRH Injury Law has my best interest?
Group 9 Group 9

Our financial interests are aligned with yours. We don’t get paid unless you do.

Beyond that, we are not a high-volume personal injury law firm. We don’t churn and burn clients. We take only the cases we believe in, and we dig deeper and fight harder to maximize the compensation we recover for each.

We frequently take cases rejected by other law firms and settle them for millions of dollars.

What should I do immediately after a bus accident?
Group 9 Group 9

By following these 6 steps any legal issues will be much easier to deal with

  1. Call the police immediately, make sure a report is made and ask for a copy – A police report helps provide objective evidence about how a bus accident happened and helps provide important information about the people involved
  2. If you are hurt, seek medical attention immediately and do exactly what your doctor or health care provider tells you – Even if you have to go to a free medical clinic, taking care of your injuries and health problems is the most important thing to do after a bus accident because you need to understand your injuries and get help for them
  3. Save all documents, including the police report, medical records, and repair estimates – Your lawyer will need to collect these documents and if you already have them, your case will move along much quicker
  4. If possible, take photographs of yourself and your property – Seeing the damage has a big impact on people, including insurance adjusters and juries. This will greatly help your case.
  5. Do not sign or agree to anything from an insurance company before you know your rights and speak to an attorney – Sometimes insurance companies will ask you to sign documents that will waive your right to other remedies or invite legal trouble down the road
  6. Call our bus accident lawyers as soon as possible – before valuable evidence disappears
What damages/compensation can I recover after a bus accident?
Group 9 Group 9

Each case is unique, but our attorneys dig deeper because we care, and fight harder because it matters. We will uncover your maximum compensation. This includes thoroughly exploring compensation for:

  • Medical expenses – reimbursement for past and future medical bills
  • Lost wages – compensation for income lost during recovery
  • Property damage – reimbursement for vehicle and property damage
  • Pain and suffering – damages for physical and emotional distress
  • Emotional distress – additional compensation for psychological impact
  • Loss of consortium – compensation for the impact on spousal relationships
  • Wrongful death damages – in fatal accidents, compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional distress
  • Punitive damages – awarded in cases of egregious conduct

How much you get will depend on these 5 things:

  1. How great are your losses?
  2. How egregious is the liability?
  3. Can the wrong-doer pay?
  4. Where will you have to file suit?
  5. Are you likeable?
