Bus Accident Injuries
Indiana and Illinois Bus Accident Attorneys
Buses that carry passengers are considered “common carriers” under state and federal law and must adhere to the same safety and driving standards as trains and airplanes. Therefore, when a crash occurs involving a bus, the legal claims will be more complex than the ordinary car crash.
Investigation must be made into whether or not the bus itself meets federal safety standards, etc. The bus driver must be checked to insure that he had a valid license and if he suffered from any substance abuse issues. The site itself must be studied for any external contributing factors to the crash.
Bus crashes usually involve a number of injury victims as well as several defendants, since the driver, the owner of the bus (the bus company) as well as those responsible for maintaining the bus, the roadway, etc. may all be partially responsible.
Therefore, if you live in Indiana and Illinois and were seriously hurt in a car crash or motor vehicle accident involving a bus anywhere or if you have been seriously hurt in a motor vehicle accident involving a bus in Indiana and Illinois, either because you were a passenger on the bus (like Greyhound), or because you were a driver or a pedestrian who was injured by an oncoming bus, then it is important that you are represented by injury lawyers with experience in bus accident claims and bus accident litigation, like the injury attorneys at Kenneth J. Allen & Associates.
