How Much Does It Cost to Hire an Alpharetta Bus Accident Attorney?
With Bader Scott, you don’t pay anything upfront or out of pocket to secure our help. That’s because we work on a contingency-fee basis. Our attorney’s fees are contingent on your case’s outcome. Here’s what to know:
- If your case succeeds, we take a pre-determined percentage of your settlement or court award. You’ll know about this percentage from the very beginning, so you know what to expect.
- You only pay for our time if we recover compensation for you.
We understand that suffering injuries in a bus accident can lead to financial hardship, and our firm doesn’t want to add to your stress. With a contingency-fee arrangement, we aim to make legal help accessible to those in need, including victims of bus accidents in Alpharetta.

Our Alpharetta Bus Accident Lawyers Offer a Suite of Legal Services
With Bader Scott, you get an advocate throughout the legal process. We will:
Investigate Your Accident’s Details
You need compelling evidence to have a compelling case. Your lawyer can investigate the collision and gather these items to prove fault:
- Traffic camera footage
- Witness statements
- The bus’s black box data
- The bus’s maintenance logs
- The bus driver’s logs
- The police report from the Alpharetta Police Department
- Testimony from an accident reconstruction specialist
Prove Negligence
With the information your lawyer finds, they aim to prove negligence (i.e., someone behaved carelessly). They must demonstrate the following:
- The party’s duty of care, or their responsibility to act carefully
- The party’s breach of duty, or their irresponsible, careless actions
- Causation, or how the party’s actions caused or contributed to the accident
- Your damages, or your compensable financial and non-financial losses
File Your Claim/Lawsuit
Filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit comes with many similar obligations. Both processes require your lawyer to:
- Determine your options for compensation
- Learn the cost of your damages
- Demonstrate fault and liability
- Adhere to case-specific deadlines
- Communicate with the involved parties
- Assert your right to compensation
- Negotiate for the fair compensation you deserve

You Generally Have Two Years to Seek Compensation
O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33 is Georgia’s statute of limitations. Under this law, you generally have two years to sue the at-fault party. Your filing deadline begins from the date of your accident or loved one’s passing.
Some exceptions could give you more or less time to act, so you shouldn’t make any assumptions about your case’s deadlines. By connecting with our team, we can explain how long you have left to file your case and what that entails. The sooner you get started, the higher the likelihood that your case can be completed within the deadline.

Considerations After Your Bus Accident in Fulton County
We urge you to seek medical attention if you haven’t already done so. A doctor’s opinion can put you on the road to recovery and serve as important evidence later.
In addition to seeking medical care, you should also report your accident to the Alpharetta Police Department. Police reports are often vital evidence in bus accident claims.
If possible, document the accident by taking photographs of vehicle damage and the surrounding area. Photograph any visible injuries you have, as well.
If you are unable to take any steps other than seeing a doctor, that is alright. Our lawyers can take many actions on your behalf, such as gathering witness information, obtaining evidence, and documenting physical evidence (such as skid marks) at the accident scene. The sooner you hire a lawyer, the easier it will be for them to collect time-sensitive evidence.
Additionally, we recommend referring all insurance representatives to your lawyer. In the early days of your case, the insurer may offer less than you need. If you accept, your case ends, and you can’t request further compensation. Our team can evaluate all settlement offers and advise you accordingly.
