Bus Accident Statistics

Busses are a common form of public transport. About 5% percent of Californians commute to work by public transit, which means millions of people ride buses each year. The LA Metro, Amtrak Thruway bus, California Rail, or local public bus lines are excellent ways to get around bustling cities. Unfortunately, bus accidents are also quite prevalent in the country. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 109 people were killed due to bus accidents in 2019 alone.

If a negligent bus driver caused your crash, they might be personally responsible for your damages. If the driver is an employee of a bus company, the company itself may be liable. This is also the case if the bus accident stemmed from negligence on the company’s part, such as failing to keep up its fleet vehicles or repair known hazards such as a faulty seatbelt. In some situations, victims can bring claims against the driver and the bus company in California.
