How Do Bus Accidents Happen?

Bus accidents happen for multiple reasons, most of which come back to human error. Common causes of bus accidents include:

• Drivers are rushing to meet deadlines and ignore traffic rules
• Drivers are distracted by passengers, their cellular devices or other things
• Drivers are intoxicated or under the influence of drugs

In some cases, mechanical issues related to defective equipment or poor maintenance can contribute to accidents. So can poor road conditions and infrastructure issues. In other cases, accidents may be caused by third parties, such as drivers in passenger vehicles or trucks who fail to yield when required or cut a bus off in traffic.

At Katz, Friedman, Eisenstein, Johnson, Bareck & Bertuca, we represent injured bus passengers, pedestrians hit by buses and the occupants of other vehicles that have been hit by buses, regardless of how the accident occurred.
