In 2007, buses were involved in almost 6,000 injury accidents in the United States. In California alone, over 1,300 people were injured in bus accidents in 2007. Data from the University of Michigan Transport Research Institute shows that most bus accidents occur on level stretches of road, on days when the weather is not a factor.
Instead, driver error is a factor in many bus accidents. Failing to yield, improper turning technique, and fatigue, along with other negligent behaviors, are significant contributors to personal injury bus accidents.
Like all large vehicle accidents, a bus accident has the potential to cause serious injury to the driver and passengers of the bus, along with the occupants of any other vehicles involved in the collision. More troubling are the figures that show that pedestrians and bicyclists are often the victims of bus injury accidents.
The Costs of Bus Accidents
The personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas focus on helping bus accident victims recover the real costs of school bus, transit bus, and commercial charter bus accidents.
Usually, the driver of a vehicle is also the owner and insurance holder of the vehicle. In the case of buses, this is not necessarily true. Sorting out who is at fault and who is potentially liable for damages requires an experienced bus accident lawyer.
Any vehicular accident is likely to cause certain types of injury. Brain injuries, spine injuries, traumatic amputation, coma, and even death are possible results of a bus accident. The lack of individual restraints in most buses also increases the dangers for passengers.
High medical costs are an unfortunate fact of bus accidents. Given the possibility of paying off multiple large claims at once, an insurance company will fight to reduce those claims as much as possible. A bus accident lawyer acts as an advocate for personal injury victims and pushes for fair and adequate injury compensation.
However, medical expenses are only a fraction of the costs of a bus accident. A 2006 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control revealed that less than 20 percent of the real costs of a personal injury accident are due to medical bills. Lost wages and decreased productivity can haunt an accident victim long after injuries have healed. Emotional distress and pain and suffering also take tolls on an accident victim and his or her family. Bus accident lawyers ensure that non-tangible damages also receive consideration.
