An all-too-common problem in our society
The first step in solving a problem is to raise public awareness about it. With that in mind, here are some disturbing facts about bus accidents:
- Research shows that about 14,000 Americans are injured each year in bus accidents. This number is expected to increase in the months and years to come, as more people use the bus as a primary means of transportation.
- Common causes of bus accidents include safety defects, distracted drivers, and external threats such as road obstructions.
- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) oversees bus transportation providers. In 2010 alone, the agency shut down 54 of these companies due to serious safety problems.
- The sheer size and power of a public bus mean that a single accident can kill or injure multiple passengers. This was made obvious during a recent bus crash in Pennsylvania that killed five people and injured dozens more.
We’re not saying that all buses are unsafe—however, when a crash does occur, those who suffer should receive fair compensation for their pain, suffering, and related expenses.
Sadly, that’s not always the case. Insurance companies, negligent bus firms, and other responsible parties sometimes try to sweep the truth under the rug, concealing crucial evidence and pressuring injury victims to accept a paltry settlement.
As Bayou Blue bus accident lawyers, we see these kinds of tactics all too often. We know how to respond to them, either through firm negotiations or, when necessary, taking the other side to court.
That’s why we’re known as one of the top bus accident lawyer firms in the country. Here’s what you can expect when your trust your case to us:
