Bus accidents are frequent occurrences in our major cities. According to a Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) study conducted for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are an estimated three hundred incidents of fatal bus crashes annually. Aside from the number of fatal bus accidents, the report also cites an exponentially higher number of accidents causing injury and property damage also occur annually.

Bus accidents can lead to personal injury and they can be caused by a number of factors, such as:
- DUI/DWI
- Reckless driving
- Weather conditions
- Defective equipment
- Improper maintenance
- Dangerous roadways
Although infrequent, accidents and collisions involving buses and trucks do happen and when they do take place the sheer size and weight of these motor vehicles is enough to cause massive amounts of damage. When you factor in speed or adverse traffic conditions, the potential for property damage and/or loss of life is immense. Every year thousands of adults and children suffer pain, discomfort, distress, mounting medical bills, lengthy rehabilitation therapies, or loss of income due to bus accidents, bus collisions, and/or other bus related injuries. You may be entitled to adequate compensation if you have been injured or suffered lost wages or income in any way due to a bus accident, collision, or because of negligence on the bus driver’s part.
