Orange County Bus Accident Lawyer

Today, countless people are taking advantage of public transportation in the form of buses. Buses are responsible for transporting millions of children to their schools. They are also responsible for helping people get to and from work and to other destinations daily. With the cost of gas being so high and California roads being more congested than ever, the number of people utilizing bus transportation has sky-rocketed.

Have you been injured in a preventable bus accident?

While riding the bus can be a cost efficient alternative, it can also be dangerous for numerous reasons. First, buses are not equipped with seatbelts. This means if a bus crashes, passengers will have no form of restraint. Second, buses are large vehicles that take a great deal of time to reach a complete stop. For these reasons and many others, should an accident occur it can result in catastrophic injuries – in some cases, wrongful death. Below are some bus accident statistics that have been provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA):

• Each year, over 360 million people ride the bus to get from place-to-place;
• Each year, 23.5 million children get to school by taking the bus;
• Of the 23.5 million children riding the school bus, approximately 12,000 will be injured;
• Approximately 11 children die each year after being involved in a major school bus accident;
