Every day in Massachusetts, millions of people rely on school buses, the MBTA, city bus lines, private charter buses and tour buses as a means of transportation around the state. Unfortunately, according to public statistics offered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 1,300 people died and over 75,000 people were injured in Massachusetts bus accidents between the years of 2004 and 2008. That means on average, between those years, 325 people died each year from Massachusetts bus accidents.

The expert Boston, MA bus accident lawyers and Boston wrongful death lawyers at the Law Offices of Gilbert R. Hoy, Jr. and Affiliates have a substantial amount of experience handling Massachusetts personal injury claims and Massachusetts wrongful death cases resulting from Massachusetts bus accidents. Our Massachusetts personal injury attorneys are highly skilled. Our Massachusetts bus accident injury lawyers use their expertise and experience to diligently pursue our clients’ cases. Our Boston, MA bus accident law firm gets them the compensation and justice that they deserve.

Massachusetts bus accidents result in a wide array of injuries, even death, for which monetary compensation can be obtained. Accidents typically happen because of a variety of reasons, some of which include:

  • Driver fatigue
  • An improperly maintained bus
  • Poor weather conditions
  • Lack of safety guidelines set by the bus company or the failure of the Massachusetts bus driver to adhere to established safety standards
  • The Massachusetts bus driver or other Massachusetts motor vehicle operator’s inattention, possibly due to texting or talking on a cell phone
  • Malfunctioning bus equipment due to manufacturing error
  • Negligent or reckless driving due to speeding or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Defective roadways or roadways with construction hazards

Massachusetts bus accidents can result in serious injuries or even Massachusetts wrongful death. A bus rollover or collision can cause passengers on the bus, or passengers in another motor vehicle involved in the accident, to sustain head trauma, lacerations, broken bones, burn injuries, nerve damage or other internal injuries. In addition to bodily injuries, Massachusetts bus accidents often result in emotional trauma to the bus accident victim, which can be debilitating and incapacitating. These physical and emotional damages resulting from a Massachusetts bus accident may cause permanent disability, or prevent the injured party from working.

Bus travel is surprisingly one of the safest forms of travel in the United States. However, when a bus accident does occur, due to the sheer size and weight of a bus, the results are often tragic. The size of the typical bus is precisely what leads to many Massachusetts bus accidents, as the driver’s visibility is limited. Massachusetts bus drivers are often unable to see children, cyclists or pedestrians because of poor visibility. Massachusetts bus routes often line the curbs of Massachusetts cities and Massachusetts towns and typically travel through densely populated areas. This fact contributes to a large number of Massachusetts bus accidents. Many bus and Massachusetts motor vehicle accidents occur when a bus is trying to switch lanes and inadvertently collides with an unseen motor vehicle in another lane, again due to limited visibility.

Aside from Massachusetts school buses, Massachusetts transport buses and Massachusetts freight buses are also frequently involved in Massachusetts bus accidents. Transport and freight buses transport goods that are oftentimes heavy and can make bus driving difficult. Massachusetts pedestrians and Massachusetts bicyclists are major causes of Massachusetts bus accidents. If there is traffic on the road, it is not uncommon for a Massachusetts bicyclist to weave in between the traffic. It can be very difficult for a Massachusetts bus driver to safely control and stop a bus in the event that a Massachusetts bicyclist moves into the path of the bus, or if a distracted Massachusetts pedestrian steps into the street. Technical and mechanical bus failures, such as improper or faulty maintenance, also lead to a number of Massachusetts bus accidents.

Due in large part to affordability reasons, buses are a major means of travel within Massachusetts. One of the most significant factors that make Massachusetts bus accidents potentially life-threatening is that Massachusetts buses oftentimes have little to no safety devices. Massachusetts buses that were purchased or leased after July, 2004 are required by Massachusetts law to be equipped with seatbelts. However, older Massachusetts buses are not required to have seatbelts due to high installation costs. Passengers on old Massachusetts buses are therefore at a greater risk for injury in the event of a Massachusetts bus accident.

Massachusetts bus accidents can lead to a number of serious Massachusetts injuries for Massachusetts residents, including back and neck injuries, brain injuries, broken bones, bruising, burns, disfigurement and scarring, head trauma, internal bleeding, lacerations, paralysis, spinal cord injury, whiplash and even Massachusetts wrongful death. There are a number of parties that can be held liable in the event that an individual is the victim of a Massachusetts bus accident. Potential liable parties can include Massachusetts bus companies, Massachusetts bus drivers, other Massachusetts motor vehicle drivers, manufacturers of the bus or bus parts, maintenance companies and Massachusetts school boards and school districts.

The Federal Carrier Safety Administration regulates the training and number of hours that a Massachusetts bus driver is permitted to drive. Every common carrier in Massachusetts, including all Massachusetts public buses, are legally obligated to act diligently in following all federal and state regulations regarding Massachusetts passenger safety. A Massachusetts motor vehicle driver is expected to drive with reasonable care, whereas all Massachusetts common carriers are obliged to operate buses at “the highest degree of care.” In general, Massachusetts common carriers are held to a higher standard of care for the safety of their passengers than other drivers on the road. This makes Massachusetts personal injury claims against Massachusetts common carriers easier to pursue as compared with claims against other Massachusetts motor vehicle operators.

If you have been the victim of a Massachusetts bus accident, you may be entitled to significant compensation as a result of the physical and emotional injuries that you have sustained. These injuries can lead to many types of monetary compensation, oftentimes including lost wages, medical expense reimbursement, punitive damages, money damages for lost future earnings, damages for loss of enjoyment of life and monetary compensation for pain and suffering. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a Massachusetts bus accident, please call our experienced Boston bus accident injury lawyers or expert Boston wrongful death lawyers at the Law Offices of Gilbert R. Hoy, Jr. and Affiliates today at 617-787-3700 or email us at info@gilhoylaw.com.
