El Cajon Bus Accident Attorney
Public transportation is a large part of the lives of citizens in San Diego County. Even tourists visiting the city for its many sites ride on popular bus lines. Electing to take a bus to work, to school, to the mall, or to go into the city offers many advantages over commuting via a personal automobile. Advantages include the city buses working on a timetable (mostly on time), saving money on gas, a smaller carbon footprint, traveling faster in bus only lanes, and a variety of stops to get most people within a reasonable distance to where they want to be. There are however, dangers associated with commuting on a city bus. Buses are driven by people, and people make mistakes or act in error. Serious injuries can arise in a bus accident. If you or a loved one have suffered personal injury in a bus accident, contact the expert El Cajon bus accident attorneys at the Law Office of Howard Alan Kitay as soon as possible. Filing a claim for personal injury is often the only way to fully recovery financially after your accident. Our experienced attorneys are here to help.
Negligent Driving and Data
As with typical automobile accidents, if a person is seeking a claim for personal injury or wrongful death against a company or driver, then negligence needs to be established. Negligence can take many forms and will take a team of expert bus accident attorneys to get to the root cause of an accident. City bus drivers are often held to a higher standard because they regularly are in charge of the safety and well-being of passengers who ride their bus. Unfortunately, bus drivers can engage in negligent conduct and serious accidents will happen.
If you feel that the negligence of a bus driver was the causation for your injury, or that their negligence caused the wrongful death of someone you know, call an experienced El Cajon bus accident attorney at the Law Office of Howard Alan Kitay right away. It is imperative that you work with our expert personal injury attorneys as soon as possible to find the underlying cause of your injury as quickly as possible. Personal injury and wrongful death claims need to be filed within a certain time frame. Generally speaking, the sooner a claim is filed the more chance it will have of being a success.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported that there were approximately 57,000 vehicles involved in bus collisions in 2007 alone. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 12,000 people suffered injury that year with 37 people losing their lives. On a national scale, more than one person is injured due to a bus accident every hour. These facts alone illustrate the dangers associated with city buses and public transportation.
Large Corporations
Most public bus lines are either owned and operated by the city or by large corporate entities (such as Greyhound or Amtrak). The thought of taking on either a government agency or a giant corporation can seem daunting to some. Big companies have vast resources at their disposal to back their driver or try to play the injured people as at fault.
