Common Causes Of Bus Accidents
Bus accidents happen for many reasons. Some of the most common include:
- Distracted or reckless driving by bus operators
- Failure to yield to pedestrians and cyclists
- Poor bus stop placement or design
- Inadequate training or negligence by the bus company
- Poor vehicle maintenance leading to mechanical failures
If you were injured due to any of these issues, I can help you build a strong case against those at fault.
What You Need To Know About Driving Around School Buses
Driving near school buses comes with unique responsibilities. Maryland law requires drivers to stop when a school bus extends its stop sign and flashes red lights. Some important safety tips include:
- Never pass a stopped school bus with its lights on
- Slow down and stay alert in school zones
- Watch for children crossing the street or stepping off the bus
Ignoring these laws can lead to serious accidents. If a driver’s negligence caused your injury, you can pursue legal action.
Bus Stops And Safety Concerns
Public buses have designated rules for stopping and picking up passengers. However, if a bus fails to follow these rules, it can increase accident risks.
Poorly placed bus stops, improper lane changes or stopping in unsafe locations can contribute to collisions. If a bus driver’s actions led to your injury, let me help you hold them accountable.
