Bus Accidents

Many residents of New York rely on the transportation system to get them around the city. The lives of riders are often in the hands of bus drivers, train operators, and pilots. Conductors of these transit systems can be held liable for even the smallest amount of negligence. They hold a large responsibility to New York State and to travelers. The drivers of buses and trains in New York must abide by laws meant for safety, including laws that prohibit speeding and consuming alcohol before or while driving. In addition, the companies that maintain public transportation vehicles like buses are liable for the safety of their vehicles.

Bus and Truck Accidents are frequent occurences in our major city streets and highways. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates 5,275 buses and trucks were involved in fatal accidents in 2000, up 0.8 percent from
5,233 in 1999. There were 5,198 fatal truck involvements in 1998 and 5,130 in 1997.

Although infrequent, accidents and collisions involving buses and trucks is a reality that has to be dealt with. Every year thousands of adults and children suffer from pain or loss of income due to bus accidents, bus collisions, and other bus related injuries. You can be liable for adequate compensation if you have been personally injured or suffered sufficient loss of income in any way due to a bus accident, collision, or as a result of any form of negligence on the bus driver's part.

Bus accidents that lead to personal injury can come in many forms, such as:

• Bus Crash
• DUI
• Wreckless Driving
• Weather-Related Collisions
• Defective Machinery
• Improper Maintenance
• Dangerous Roadways
