Are You a Victim of a Bus Accident?
Many people rely on buses to transport them to work, to school, shopping to appointments and for other activities. Thousands of individuals every day board city buses, school buses, smaller commuter buses and long distance buses such as greyhound, big sports events and tourist buses. When doing so, these thousands of individuals are relying on the competence and safety measures taken by bus drivers and bus companies who employ them, train them and maintain service on the buses. When a driver or bus company employee acts in a negligent manner, whether it is failing to properly maintain equipment, driving too fast, following to closely or some other negligent action or inaction, accidents may occur in which passengers and other motorists are injured or even killed. The bus driver and bus company are ultimately responsible for the safety of passengers they transport as well as others on the road, which often entails a large number of people at any given time.
In a bus accident, passengers on the bus can be harmed through the sudden impact of a collision, such as being thrown to the floor, against seats, windows, rails and other objects. Without seat beats, it is highly likely that bus passengers will sustain injuries in a bus crash. Others may be hurt as well, including the driver and passengers of any other vehicle involves or bicyclists, motorcyclists or pedestrians caught in harms way in a bus accident.
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, most bus accidents occur in urban areas, About 1000 people are injured every year in intercity and cross-country bus accidents. The majority of these accidents have been determined to be caused by negligence on the part of the bus driver, the bus company or another driver.
