Bus accidents are less common than car crashes, but they still cause thousands of injuries and fatalities each year. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA):
4,998 large trucks and buses were involved in fatal crashes in 2020
107,000 large truck and bus crashes resulted in injuries
School buses accounted for 38% of fatal bus crashes
Transit buses accounted for 35%
Intercity buses accounted for 11%
While national statistics are concerning, Florida bus accident data is equally alarming. The Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports that in 2021:
15 bus passengers suffered incapacitating injuries
144 sustained non-incapacitating injuries
916 experienced possible injuries
These numbers do not include injuries to drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, or occupants of other vehicles involved in Florida bus crashes.
Determining bus accident liability requires a detailed investigation. A Lakeland bus accident attorney may pursue claims against:
The bus driver
The bus company or employer
A maintenance or repair company
Another negligent driver
A defective bus or auto parts manufacturer
A government entity responsible for road maintenance
At Dismuke Law, our legal team works with accident reconstruction experts and investigators to prove negligence and pursue maximum compensation for injured victims and families in wrongful death cases.
