In Washington State, a woman who was hit by a Metro van has received $7 million in a settlement with the local county following her lawsuit. The victim was riding her Vespa scooter to work when the public transit van allegedly ran a stop sign and failed to yield her right of way. The impact of the crash sent the woman flying 40 feet. She was in a coma for days after the crash. Her injuries included a severely broken leg with a compound fracture, as well as extensive internal injuries. In addition to the dangerous actions of the county van driver, attorneys also claimed that the intersection where the accident occurred was unsafe.

Riding a bus is a daily occurrence for many Southern California commuters, and bus passengers rely on Metro buses to be safe. Unfortunately when bus accidents occur, they often involve a large number of injuries, since (a) buses have a high passenger capacity, and (b) due to the sheer size of a bus, the impact they create in a wreck can be severe. When a bus is involved in a crash, the bus driver, bus manufacturer, employee contractor, vehicle maintenance company, or county/municipality may be at fault. Make sure that you get legal help immediately if you have been hurt by in an LA area bus accident by calling 1-800-ALAWPRO now.

Some people may think that if you have been punished in criminal court for a crime you committed, then you are free from liability in other cases. However, that is not the case in many situations. For example, even with the concept of double jeopardy applied (the right of an individual not to be prosecuted for the same crime twice) the victim of a crime can sue the wrongdoer in civil court for damages sustained in the incident. This can happen even if the wrongdoer was acquitted, or found not guilty of the crime. This is primarily attributed to the fact that these civil lawsuits require negligence or recklessness, and not a higher requirement of action, like intent.

On October 3, 2009, 18 year old Milad Moulayi was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the second degree murder of 16 year old Mackenzie Frazee. Frazee was killed after a party in 2008 when Moulayi insisted on driving her home. Moulayi had drunk several shots of alcohol and was stumbling drunk when he left the party. He had been warned about driving without a license before, but obviously did not heed the warning because he did not have a license at the time of the accident. In another unrelated accident on October 1, 2009, Kim Fullenwider of Ojai was arrested and charged with child endangerment after she was caught drinking and driving a busload of students. The accident occurred when Fullenwider tried to make a U-turn but was hit by a pickup truck.

In both of these incidents, the family of the teenage girl and the parents of the children may be able to sue the drivers for their negligence in the incident. However, there are many elements of both cases that would need to be examined by an experienced attorney. For example, because Moulayi was an unlicensed driver, he likely did not have car insurance, so who would foot the bill for a judgment against him in civil court? All of these things hinge on the experience and knowledge of practicing attorneys, like those of Greenberg & Rudman LLP.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has released a preliminary report regarding the deadly tour bus crash that killed 5 people in Soledad recently. As cited in an earlier blog, the tour bus, operated by Orion Pacific, was carrying visitors from France when it crashed on the 101 in Northern California. Four passengers and the driver were killed in the accident that happened on a freeway overpass.

Per the new report, driver error seems the likely cause of the fatal accident. It appears that the driver poorly negotiated the overpass curve, and as a result, the bus slammed into the guardrail and turned over. Other possible causes for the crash, including driving under the influence, mechanical failure, poor road design or conditions and weather, were ruled out. Bus accidents, whether they involve school buses, tour buses or public transit buses, can involve multiple parities, such as the leasing company, owner, driver or municipality.

Bus accidents are one of the most serious forms of motor vehicle accidents. Buses are larger than most other road vehicles, and often they are carrying large numbers of passengers. These two factors can increase the amount of damage caused in a collision as well as the number of casualties. The higher center of gravity in buses also increases the possibility of rollover. Rollover accidents are the most deadly crash type as a result of the violent nature of a vehicle rolling over and the high potential for roof collapse. To learn more about bus accidents and rollovers, check out our website at www.alawpro.com. Been hurt in a Los Angeles bus crash? Then call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak to a lawyer at no cost.

Two bus crashes have made headlines this month. A tour bus crash on Highway 93 in Arizona killed 7 passengers and injured 10 others.

Victims were tossed out the windows of the 30 seat bus which had no seat belts. In Moreno Valley a school bus rolled over onto a BMW causing the death or the car driver. The accident occurred on the Escondido Expressway at the Highway 60 interchange. Thankfully, no children were on the school bus. According to CHP officials, the two major factors in the crash were unsafe lane changing and speed.

Charter bus accidents can be extremely dangerous and deadly. Because buses are normally carrying a large number of people, bus collisions tend to have a larger number of injuries and deaths than car crashes. Additionally, the buses themselves can be hazardous due to their high center of gravity, making them more likely to rollover, especially in a situation where a sudden obstacle calls for a bus to turn or veer. Bus crashes can be the fault of driver error, poor road maintenance, or mechanical or design defect. To learn more about bus crashes, please visit our website at www.alawpro.com. If you or a loved one has been hurt or killed in a California bus accident, please call 1-800-ALAWPRO for your free lawyer consultation.
