If I was hit by a school bus, should I see them to pay for my car?
Yesterday, as I was going home a bus made a narrow fast left turn. As I saw the bus approaching, I stopped abut the bus continued and hit my front driver seat all the way to my side the driver’s seat. My father and I were in the car and the doctors say we have some internal bruises. My car was totaled.

The property damage claim for your car is separate from the personal injury claims of you and your father. If the claims are settled with the insurance carrier for the school district, NO lawsuit is filed.
If settlement offers are unsatisfactory, reject them and file a lawsuit for negligence against the school district.
