Bus Crash Accident Attorneys

As the congestion on our streets nationwide increases, people turn more and more frequently to buses to get them from point A to point B in an efficient manner. While the number of accidents involving buses is still relatively small, the likelihood for injuries and deaths is worse than a car. Also, a single bus accident can injure 30 people.

Bus accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, not all of which are attributable to congestion. Some of these causes include:

• Driving Under the Influence

• Reckless Driving

• Weather

• Defective machinery

• Improper maintenance

• Dangerous roadways

• Driver negligence

• Inadequate security

• Negligence

In addition to mass transit buses causing accidents, the large increase in school buses, charter buses, and party buses also contribute to the number of bus accidents increasing. As the number of people riding buses increases so too has the number of accidents. The number of buses involved in fatal accidents is going up as well.

On average, 16,000 school bus accidents occur each year resulting in 12,000 injured children and 130 deaths.
