Bus Accidents
Countless commuters in New York City and New Jersey areas use bus services to travel from home to work and back each day. MTA transits millions of passengers per work week to and from New York City while NJ Transit brings more people to New York City every day. In addition to these bus services, school bus services, city bus services, and tour buses contribute to the bus traffic.
Each of these passengers put their lives and their trust into the hands of the bus drivers without even thinking about the risk of being involved in a bus accident. Yet, in 2013, 18 000 bus crashes in the United States resulted in injury. Often these cases are the result of negligence on the behalf of the bus driver or the bus company. Tired drivers, reckless driving, and unsafe vehicles can all result in fatal bus accidents or personal injury. Even though traveling by bus is relatively safe compared to traveling with other vehicles, the major factor to consider is that bus accidents are beyond the control of the passenger who may suffer personal injury. You don’t have any control over whether the driver is in a state to drive the vehicle or whether he will adhere to safe driving practices. You have no choice but to trust that the bus driver will transport you to your destination safely. For that reason, personal injury due to bus accidents can be a traumatic event. Even so, if you have suffered personal injury from a bus accident, you have to contact a personal injury lawyer to investigate your case as soon as possible – within 90 days to be exact. You trusted the driver and you deserve to be compensated for this breach of trust.
