Bus Accidents Overview – Common Causes and Law suit Information
Do you or your children use the means of bus transportation to complete your everyday activities? Do you ever wonder why they think it’s safer for a baby to be in your arms then strapped into a stroller? Maybe you’re wondering why there are handles to grab onto if you’re standing on a bus while it’s moving but the handles can slide back and forth which will not always save you from falling? Do you ever wonder why on buses for school children there are never any seatbelts? Or the fact that some areas are so overpopulated in comparison to numbers of buses and the volume of passengers which it contains that children are left unprotected sitting on floors, or squeezing a 3rd child into a 2 child seat so if there were an accident the child would not be guarded by the seat in front.
Imagine one day getting home from work, the house which was once always mazed in the wondrous child clatter is now still, dark, and silent. You call the school to see if your child had missed the bus and maybe they were unable to get through to you through your phone, instead you get an awkward tone, she’s shaky and sounds well stressed, more than likely an office attendant. She asks your name and your Childs name along with the bus number, you give it to her thinking nothing of the routine questions. Then there is a long award silence at the end of the phone line, she says I am sorry mama we heard there was an accident, some students weren’t in the seats properly on the bus due to too many students riding the same bus. There was a deer in the middle of the road and the driver was driving too fast, when she slammed on the breaks three students flew out the window, your child was one of them..
