Bus Accidents

Motor vehicular crashes are noted to be the leading cause of death among the age group 5-34 in the United States.

Over 2.3 million adult drivers and passengers were treated in emergency departments due to being injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2009. The economic impact of these types of accidents is also notable: the lifetime costs of crash-related deaths and injuries among drivers and passengers were in excess off $70 billion in 2005.

In the US today, the explosive growth in the population is also very notable, thus resulting in an exponential increase in the number of road traffic and the number of commuters that are now using public transportation. As a resulting consequence of this growth increase, the number of injuries and deaths as a result of public transportation, more specifically bus accidents is at an all time high.

A bus is defined as a motor vehicle designed to carry more than 10 passengers, not including the driver. In 208 there was over 840, 000 registered buses in use here in the United States, with approximately 450,000 being used to transport both elementary and secondary school children. As a result there was over 24,000 non-fatal injuries and approximately 11,000 ‘other vehicle’ involved in bus related accidents.

Whether you are one of those individual that rely on public or private buses as your mode of transportation, as a passenger, should you be injured in a bus accident you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries. Due to the fact that buses, which is a very popular mode of public transportation, they have a ‘greater legal responsibility’ to their passengers as opposed to the possible negligence by drivers of other vehicle.

Bus accidents can be very traumatic experience, and when you include the ‘never-ending’ medical cost and the on-going pain and suffering, this becomes even more over-whelming. You deserve to be compensated as quickly as possible for this horrendous experience, and because there are varying ‘statute of limitation laws’ which governs when and how you can make a claim, time is of an essence to get the help in filing these claims correctly and more important, timely.
