I would need to know more facts as to the incident to determine if there might be liability as to the owner of the bus. Did the driver see anyone bring a bottle onto the bus, was anyone acting improperly before you were struck, was there anything the driver could have done to prevent the incident, etc. The value of your case depends in part upon these facts, your age, will there be any permanent scars, did you do anything to cause the incident, etc. No one can make any guess as to the value of your case without a lot more information. Public entities are very cheap in their settlement offers. You need to file a claim within 180 days of the incident. Speak to several personal injury attorneys in your area to see what they thing the case might be worth.
