Bus Accidents: Causes and Consequences
Accidents involving buses can be particularly destructive whether you experience this as a passenger in the bus or someone who is hit by the bus. The size of the bus and the large amounts of metal and glass can be a significant hazard. The lack of seatbelts for passengers greatly increases the chances of injury. No matter the circumstances, if you were injured in an accident involving a bus, contact a
New York City personal injury lawyer today. There may even be cases in which you are not aware of the bus being at fault in the accident even though this will be shown upon investigation. Common causes for bus accidents include:
- An inexperienced or poorly trained driver;
- Driver fatigue or a driver guilty of driving under the influence;
- Speeding, disregarding right of way, or other dangerous or negligent behavior;
- Overloaded buses;
- Defective or insufficient maintenance or repair of the bus; and
- Insufficient or malfunctioning safety warning signals
