If the victim is unable to work due to their injuries, they may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This includes past and future income that the victim would have earned if not for the accident.

Bus accidents can cause significant physical and emotional pain and suffering. Compensation for pain and suffering aims to provide solace for the victim’s pain, trauma, and decreased quality of life.

Beyond physical injuries, bus accidents can result in emotional trauma, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Compensation can be sought for the emotional distress experienced by the victim.

Wrongful Death Damages

In fatal bus accidents, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and other damages associated with the loss of their loved one.

Punitive Damages

In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the responsible party and deter similar conduct in the future.
