    Can you sue the bus driver and the bus company for putting you in harms way?

    Your lawyer's job isn't to "tell you what you want to hear" or to "see things your way" when the law or jury might see things in a very different way. Like it or not, you were an adult, you knew how to safely cross a street, and you were under no compulsion to "cross the street" in any particular place or manner even if the bus driver for some reason told you to do so. Any experienced lawyer has seen this happen: a client wants more money than is offered, finds a new lawyer who promises the sun and moon, then loses at trial.

    The offered settlement is from whom? The driver who hit you? The bus service?

    That's what I did, I sued the bus company for putting me in harm's way and even though at first they claimed they were not liable now they're starting to make offers.
