Middletown Bus Crash Attorneys
Motor Vehicle and Pedestrian Accident Legal Help in Connecticut Since 1978
There are fewer than 300 fatal bus accidents a year in the U.S., on average, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This means that, while many personal injury lawyers are experienced in handling car and truck accident cases, few have significant experience in handling bus accident cases.
This is unfortunately because bus accident cases can involve legal complexities and questions that car accidents don't. For instance:
- Are buses required to be equipped with seatbelts and, if not, should they be?
- Who is the defendant when a bus accident involves a vehicle owned by the government or school district?
- What is the statute of limitation in different kinds of bus accidents?
- Can a bussing company be held liable when a bus is poorly maintained or the hired driver has a history of moving violations, criminal activity or substance abuse?
