Whether it be to commute to work, to school, or your home, buses serve millions of people across the state of New York every day.
On average, about 63,000 buses (of all kinds) are involved in an accident each year.
Of these accidents, 48,000 result in only property damage, 14,000 results in a non-fatal injury, and 325 result in fatal injury to one or multiple parties.
There are several causes for bus accidents, including:
- Driver Negligence
- Inadequate Training of the Bus Driver
- Failure to Properly Maintain the Bus
- A defect in the Design of the Bus
- Negligent Actions By Other Drivers on the Road
