Given the size disparity between buses and personal vehicles, injuries in a bus accident can be devastating. In addition to the bodily injuries suffered in the crash, a plaintiff could also experience psychological and financial repercussions.
The damages awarded in these cases fall into three categories: economic damages,non-economic damages, and physical impairment damages. Economic damages are easily valued through evidence like bills or estimates. However, non-economic damages and physical impairment damages are more subjective, and it can be difficult to determine their value without expert testimony and experience valuing such claims.
