It is wise to speak with a bus accident attorney before accepting any settlement. Early offers may often greatly undervalue your child’s medical expenses, future treatment needs, emotional distress, or other long-term effects. Claims involving government entities also include statutory damage caps with strict procedures and timelines. Navigating by yourself can risk leaving money on the table. Let an experienced lawyer review the offer, assess the true value of the case, and advise you on pursuing compensation that fully addresses your child’s injuries and financial losses.
