Bus Accident Attorneys

More and more citizens are using mass transit and public transportation every year. In accordance with the growing number of people using buses as their main source of transportation, the number of injuries and deaths resulting from bus accidents is also rising.

Countless elementary and secondary school children ride school buses daily throughout the United States and most of these school buses do not have restraint systems or seatbelts. Although the majority of the injuries are minor, 12,000 children are injured and as many as eleven children a year die as a result of school bus accidents.

Bus accidents can be caused by such contributing factors as driver negligence, inadequate security, dangerous roadways, weather conditions, defective products and improper maintenance, among others. If you have been injured as the result of a bus accident either as a passenger, pedestrian or driver, you may be able to file a claim against the bus company. If you were a passenger on a bus that was involved in an accident, the bus company, whether public or private, owes you the "utmost duty of care" associated with being a common carrier.

If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in an accident involving a bus or school bus, you need the advice of an experienced bus accident attorney.
