Can I be compensated for emotional distress in a bus accident?

Yes. If you are injured in a bus accident you may be eligible to receive compensation for emotional distress. You can also receive compensation for other things, including the following:

  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earnings and earning capacity
  • Assistive devices and transportation
  • Property loss (damage to your vehicle)
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional distress
  • Disfigurement
  • Inability to perform certain functions
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium (marital support and services)

Insurance companies will often try to get you to settle right away but a skilled personal injury attorney like Fernando D. Vargas can help you secure the maximum amount possible in your bus accident personal injury case.
