A Nightmare Scenario
Buses have been a part of American society since the early 1900s and we expect them to be safe when we use them. After all, bus companies have regulations that must be met and inspections to undergo. Their drivers are trained and understand the dynamics of operating such a large vehicle.
If you are on a bus when it crashes, it can be a terrifying experience. Between the other passengers and possible injuries and the need to get yourself to safety, the experience can be a nightmare. If you have family with you, it can be even scarier.
If you suffer any injuries, medical bills can pile up fast, which is not something you expected when you got on a bus. In the aftermath, you need to know what went wrong.
Was there something wrong with the bus?
Was the driver distracted?
If there was any negligence, whether on the driver’s part or the owner of the bus, you need to know because you could be owed compensation beyond medical coverage.
Collateral Damage
Just because you aren’t a passenger on a bus that crashes doesn’t mean you won’t be affected by it. If you are in a vehicle that has been struck by a bus, or are a pedestrian nearby when the crash happens, you could sustain serious injuries. In these situations, you have just as much of a right to know what went wrong.
