    Helping Victims Recover from Bus Accidents

    Buses are one of the mainstays of American transportation. While most think of consumer/passenger buses when the word is mentioned, one should also remember that school buses transport millions of children to and from school twice every day. Buses are on the roads in high numbers, and this leads to a higher probability that accidents will occur when one also considers the varying weather and traffic conditions every bus can encounter.

    Additionally, when a bus accident occurs, it can lead to terrible injuries and multiple deaths given the size of the vehicles, the relative lack of safety restraints available to passengers and the high rates of speed at which buses travel. If you or someone you love has been injured in a bus accident, you need to contact the attorneys at Parilman & Associates today to schedule a free initial consultation.

    Below is an overview of the bus accident issue in the United States.

    Bus Accident Statistics

    The federal government has published the following bus accident statistics for the year 2007:
    1. 278 buses were involved in fatal crashes.
    2. These crashes led to 322 fatalities.
    3. Almost 13,000 buses were involved in non-fatal crashes.
    4. Almost 7,000 buses were involved in injury crashes.
    5. These injury crashes led to almost 16,000 recorded injuries.
    6. Almost 6,000 buses were involved in tow-away crashes.
    7. 10 buses were involved in Hazmat (HM) Placard Crashes.
    When one looks at the totality of the numbers, it's clear that while bus crashes are statistically less probable than the probability that exists with other vehicles, but every bus accident is also a very dangerous situation.

    Additional Technicalities

    The harsh reality is that if someone is involved in a bus accident, he or she likely does not care much about national statistics. The person who has been injured or the loved ones of someone who has been killed simply want to know what to do next. This is where the bus accident lawyers at Parilman & Associates come into play.

    If you are not sure which defendants would be the proper parties to pursue for a recovery, if you do not understand how to put together a forensic accident report or you're not sure how to negotiate through the red tape of insurance companies, then you need to allow the bus accident lawyers at Parilman & Associates to help you so that you can concentrate on your recovery.
