Bus Accident Attorneys In Toledo
Although the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has required all passenger vehicles to be equipped with seat belts since the late 1960s, buses have been mysteriously exempt from this law. Unfortunately, this lack of restraints and the massive size advantage of commercial buses over most other vehicles can make bus collisions extremely devastating, resulting in severe injury to all involved.

What Causes Bus Accidents?
While a bus accident can result from a nearly endless number of circumstances, most collisions involving commercial or public school buses are caused by some form of negligence on the part of the bus driver, the bus company or the other drivers involved in the crash. Unfortunately, these collisions often lead to mass devastation and horrific injuries to those involved, including bone fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal bleeding or even death.
You may be able to recover compensation if your collision was caused by any of the following:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence
- Changing lanes without signaling
- Poor bus maintenance
- Skipped safety inspections
