Bus Accidents Resource Center

Bus Accidents have numerous causes, including negligent driving, mechanical problems, improper bus maintenance, driver inexperience or fatigue, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Bus Accidents can result in injuries ranging from minor scrapes and bruises, to emotional trauma, and even death for bus passengers, pedestrians, and drivers of other motor vehicles. There are hundreds of thousands of buses currently in use, and older buses can be prone to mechanical failures that often result in serious injuries to bus passengers. Serious bus crashes and collisions are grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. Public and private bus companies owe passengers the "utmost duty of care" associated with being a common carrier, and individuals harmed in Bus Accidents may be able to file claims against the bus company to revocer compensation for injuries, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
