Fresno Bus Accident Attorneys

When you climb onto a bus, you're putting your trust in the driver’s skills and ability to drive you safely to your destination.  Like the captain of a ship, common and private bus carriers owe an utmost “duty of care” to passengers, a higher standard than applies to other motorists who are not engaged in public transport.  Common carriers bear considerable liability when their negligence causes injury or fatality, and there may be grounds to sue for damages.

Fresno Bus Lines

The following are some well-known bus lines that operate in the Fresno and surrounding areas:

  • Fresno County Rural Transit Agency
  • Fresno Area Express
  • Fresno Transportation Center
  • Golden Eagle Charter, Inc.
  • Greyhound Bus Lines

Bus Safety Issues

For the most part, buses abide by rules of the road, and their drivers deliver passengers safely. However, when a bus goes out of control and falls over an embankment or collides with another vehicle, passengers are at risk for extreme, serious injury. A number of factors contributing to bus accidents that result in serious injury include:

  • Lack of seat belts
  • High, top-heavy structure of a bus (prone to plunging over guard rails or bridges)
  • Propensity for veering out of control
  • Driver fatigue
  • Reckless driving
  • Lack of proper vehicle maintenance
  • Tire blowouts
  • Bad weather conditions
  • Defective bus components
