Bus drivers and bus companies have a legal responsibility to their
passengers. Legally recognized as "common carriers," these individuals
and businesses have a greater duty to provide their passengers with
safety and protection than the makers of ordinary cars. However,
despite this higher level of responsibility, some bus drivers do not
always drive safely, and some are not provided adequate training by
their employer. As a result, innocent people are sometimes injured.
Given
the immense size and weight of buses, a bus accident can cause severe
injury to those involved. Additionally, many buses are not equipped
with seatbelts or safety restraints. If you or a loved on has been
injured in a bus accident, you should strongly consider contacting an
attorney at our firm. We can help you obtain the compensation to which
you are entitled. |
