In many cases, it’s because of the obvious reasons: Buses are heavier, are generally more difficult to navigate, and carry many passengers and most often do not have seat belts. Some types of buses routinely travel great distances and need regular maintenance.

A major factor in bus crashes is industry regulation – or, rather, lack of regulation – as with tour and charter buses. For many years, federal safety regulations have not required the installation of seatbelts on these types of buses, even though doing so would save lives.

Most buses are now equipped with cameras.  If you are injured in a bus accident it is very important that you notify the bus driver immediately.  Next, it is of utmost importance that the video be preserved. In order to ensure that this happens, call NPN Law immediately and we will take the necessary steps to preserve the video evidence.

If you are injured on a public bus there will often be a very short statute of limitations and you should not delay in seeking an attorney to handle your case.
