Personal InjuryCalifornia Bus Accident Attorneys
With gas prices escalating on a seemingly daily basis, commuters are turning to alternate modes of transportation to get to and from their destinations. One of the most accessible of these modes of commute is public transportation, especially taking the bus. City buses, charter buses, and school buses all crowd our streets on a daily basis. With these large vehicles in such close proximity to autos and pedestrians, accidents are an inevitability. According to the Center for National Truck and Bus Safety Statistics, the two most common fatal bus related accidents are auto-bus collisions and pedestrian accidents. More than 60% of bus accident fatalities involve another auto and 25% involve a pedestrian.
Bus accidents can lead to serious personal injury and in extreme cases, death. They can be caused by a number of factors, such as:
- negligence or lack of care and precaution of the driver
- defective vehicle products
- weather conditions
- dangerous roadways
- Improper maintenance leading to mechanical failure of the bus.
A serious accident or injury involving a bus can be a devastating event for the victim and his or her family. Victims of California Bus Accidents can seek monies that were lost as a result of medical bills, auto repair due to the accident, or time missed at work. The laws regarding California Bus Accidents, however, are anything but cut and dry. The complicated statutes require that some bus accident claims be filed within 6 months of the accident occurring.
