When a school bus causes serious personal injury in an accident, the situation of those involved can become more complicated than with other bus accidents. Residents of the greater Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area recently saw their city in the national news after a horrible bus collision. An article explains how a bus carrying Western Valley elementary school students went on for about a mile after it first went out of control. This Arizona school bus accident seriously injured 26 people and caused at least a dozen accidents.
Many of these people affected by the incident will never receive the compensation to which they are entitled because of the 180 day deadline for filing a “notice of claim.” They must file a notice of claim properly to the right people and with the correct content. If they do not file a lawsuit during this time, the personal injury plaintiffs will have lost all rights to compensation. The one bright spot in this incident is that none of the children were seriously hurt; but for the rest of the people on that Phoenix street that suffered serious injury, it may be vital that they quickly find the best Arizona personal injury lawyers they can.
