Bus companies owe the highest duty of care to passengers and pedestrians to protect against injuries and death due to the ever increasing congestion of roads, particularly in urban satellite cities. The number of deaths and injuries from bus accidents is also rising. Bus accidents should be properly investigated to determine if the cause was bus driver negligence, improper bus maintenance, improper driver training or background check, roadway design or defect, or many other possible causes.
If you were a passenger on a bus or a pedestrian injured in a bus accident, whether public or private, you are owed the highest and utmost duty of care associated with a common carrier to properly protect your rights. It is best to consult with an experienced Pennsylvania bus accident lawyer.
