Who Are The Victims of Bus Crashes?
We all have different relationships with buses. Some of us rarely use them while others take advantage of them regularly. Many of us trust buses to get our kids to and from school each day. However, anyone can be affected by a bus crash:
- The bus passengers and driver
- Passengers in other vehicles
- Motorcyclists and Bicyclists
- Pedestrians in and around the roadway
Due to the size and weight of most buses, these crashes can cause severe injuries to anyone involved. Bus passengers are rarely restrained with seatbelts. This includes kids on school buses. It is not uncommon for us to encounter the following in the aftermath of a bus crash:
- Broken and dislocated bones
- Severe lacerations
- Internal organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Whiplash injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Concussions
Each of these injuries requires medical attention. Depending on the severity of the injury, a person may need extensive medical care or extended rehabilitation in order to make a full recovery.
If a bus crash victim is unable to work while they recover, or maybe never return to work at all, they will lose income they need to support themselves and their families.
How Bus Crashes Can Happen
In many cases, bus crashes are the result of a negligent bus driver. A driver could be Distracted by their phones or other devices. Sometimes drivers operate while Impaired by drugs or alcohol. It is vital that bus drivers are properly trained to drive each vehicle and that they follow all traffic laws.
Bus companies and agencies have a duty to ensure each vehicle is Regularly Inspected and Maintained in order to prevent vehicle failure. If any part of bus malfunctions while the vehicle is moving at high rates of speed, major crashes could occur.
