Negligence Cases in the News: Bus Accident Cases

Negligence Cases in the News:
Bus Accident Cases

     The Long Beach Press reported this month that a lawsuit has been filed by families against two California bus companies. Seven people were killed when a tour bus lost its brakes coming down a mountain.

 

In Michigan, the law also imposes a duty upon public transportation companies to maintain their buses in good repair to avoid personal injury. The same is true with regard to the general safe operation of buses and cabs for the safety of their paying customers and the general public.

 

If you or a loved one are injured while a passenger on a local bus or cab through negligence of the driver or a safety defect, you may wish to speak with a lawyer to discuss your rights.

Personal Injury Cases in the News: Bus Crash Lawsuit

Personal Injury Cases in the News:

 

Bus Crash Lawsuit

 

     Operators of public transportation, such as buses, owe special duties of care to their passengers. The Tacoma News-Tribune reported on January 6, 2013 that several victims of a fatal bus crash filed a lawsuit against the bus company for personal injuries. In the suit, the Plaintiff say the bus driver was traveling too fast on roads which were covered by snow and ice and overly fatigued from driving far too many hours the preceding week.

 

     Public transportation companies are responsible for the wrongful acts and omissions of their employees, and any personal injuries that may fall on their passengers from events like sudden stops or a bus crash. Members of the public have a right to be transported safely when the fee for transportation is paid.

Personal Injury Cases in the News

 

     The Macon Telegraph on December 20, 2012 reported a suit filed over the death of a bicyclist. The family of the deceased bicyclist filed a suit against the driver of the car that hit him. The suit accuses the defendant of “failing to use a proper look-out, not exercising due care in the operation of a motor vehicle and violating the law by following too closely.”

 

     In Michigan the Motor Vehicle Code sets forth the proper standards for the safe operation of autos, buses, cars, trucks and motorcycles. A breach or violation of these standards which causes a personal injury accident may result in liability against the driver. All drivers need to be mindful of bicyclist and motorcyclists on the road and maintain a look-out for those who are more vulnerable and unprotected.
