Chicago and Dallas/Ft. Worth Bus Accident Lawyers

The highways and city roads in Texas and Illinois are busy, and this trend is only going to continue as more and more people move to each state. Buses are a common sight on the streets, as they are a reliable and smart option for transportation. However, bus accidents take place more regularly than many people realize. You have probably heard a story on your local news channel about a bus full of students or athletes that collides with another vehicle or runs off the road, resulting in serious injuries. While the last thing you may think about when stepping onto a bus is being involved in an accident, the risk is still there.

Every single day, thousands of buses across the country carry children to school, workers to their jobs, and people all around the city. There are also numerous commuter buses that take people across the country. While these vehicles are designed to make life easier and serve as a more environmentally-friendly transportation option, accidents happen. Although fatal bus accidents are rare, it is important to understand that they can happen at any time. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, bus accidents account for just 0.14 percent deaths per billion miles traveled. Unfortunately, bus accidents do happen, resulting in serious injuries, property damage, and fatalities.

Devastating Injuries in Bus Accidents

Across the nation, an average of 300 deaths happen per year because of a bus accident. These accidents can involve city buses, school buses, charter buses, tour buses, and any other type of buses used to transport people. While buses and trucks make up less than twelve percent of all fatal crashes in the United States, when these accidents do occur, they are often catastrophic. Only four percent of the 6.2 million nonfatal vehicle crashes involve buses, showing just how safe they normally are. While these numbers have risen slightly over the years, buses are not nearly as dangerous as cars or trucks.
