Bus Accidents

When buses are involved in accidents, the consequences can be catastrophic. This is because schools, bus companies, and transit agencies routinely fail to offer seat belts or other safety precautions. Passengers must simply rely on their luck—and the bus driver—to keep them safe from serious bus accidents.

The lack of standard safety measures is just one aspect contributing to buses being a potential hazard. Buses strike between many pedestrians in the United States every year, according to the NHTSA. This is partly because their routes take them to curbs and through pedestrian-dense areas. Additionally, bus drivers often have poor visibility due to the large size of their vehicles and limited rear view.  In the case of school buses, impatient drivers may cause tragic accidents involving young children by failing to stop when the red lights are flashing. Moreover, the extremely heavy weight of buses—more than 10,000 pounds—makes them much more likely to be involved in deadly rollover accidents than passenger cars. If bus drivers or others on the road do not exercise enough care, a group outing or daily commute can turn into a massive tragedy.
