Bus Accidents
Millions of people each year ride buses, including school buses, private charter buses, passenger vans, and mass transit buses, as a method of transportation in Massachusetts. Unfortunately, thousands of bus accidents occur each year, due to driver error, driver fatigue, intoxication, and equipment failure.
With increases in the cost of gas over the past few years, Massachusetts roads and highways have seen resurgence in the common carrier industry. From local city streets to highways across Massachusetts, buses are seemingly everywhere. Our highways are filled with buses heading to New York City, Washington D.C. and Cape Cod. Each year, there are over 55,000 bus accidents across America. At Sheff Law, we see that bus and common carrier accidents can have devastating and permanent effects on the lives of the victims and their families.
Injuries caused by bus accidents may prevent passengers from returning to work. In serious cases for several months or years. Victims may also suffer debilitating emotional trauma.
If you are involved in a bus accident, it is crucial that you preserve evidence immediately and to contact a qualified attorney.
