Charter Bus Accidents

Charter buses are hired for a specific event or purpose. The major benefits are a large group can travel together without the headaches of multiple vehicles, dealing with traffic, paying to park, etc. Most charter buses will even allow, for an extra fee, the passengers to enjoy alcoholic beverages while in transit. Charter buses are typically used for weddings, sporting events, business functions, etc.

While charter buses can be a fun and convenient form of transportation, they can also be dangerous. In 2008, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration reported there were 843,308 registered buses in this country. And, in 2008 alone, there were 24,000 people who were injured or killed in bus accidents.

The most common causes of bus accidents are:

Faulty or defective equipment such as brakes and tires.
Driver fatigue
Improperly trained and/or supervised drivers
Improper maintenance of the bus
Drug and/or alcohol use by the driver
Violations of hours of service requirements by the driver
Violations of rules of the road such as speeding, improper lane changes, etc.
