TRUCK & BUS ACCIDENTS

Ohio Truck & Bus Accident Lawyers

Transportation is the backbone of American commerce, moving essential goods and passengers across the nation. While trucks deliver everything from household supplies to industrial equipment, buses provide critical transit for countless commuters and travelers. However, the benefits of such extensive road use come with increased risks of catastrophic accidents. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, an American is injured or killed in a truck or bus accident every 15 minutes, reflecting a concerning trend in these vehicular incidents.

Due to their significant size and weight, trucks and buses can cause more severe injuries and fatalities per mile driven compared to smaller vehicles. A bus or truck traveling at 50 miles per hour possesses immense collision energy, substantially more than a car at the same speed. In accidents involving these larger vehicles and passenger cars, most fatalities are occupants of the smaller vehicles. These tragic incidents often stem from preventable factors such as:

  • Aggressive driving behaviors, including tailgating and improper lane changes
  • Exceeding speed limits and ignoring specific bus and truck speed regulations
  • Driver impairment due to alcohol, drugs, or exhaustion
  • Overly demanding schedules that put pressure on drivers to skip necessary breaks
  • Negligence in vehicle maintenance, such as failing to check brakes, tires, and lights
  • Improper loading techniques leading to jack-knifing or loss of vehicle control
  • Lack of adequate safety equipment like blind-spot mirrors

Unlike trucks, buses also carry the added responsibility of passenger safety, making accidents involving buses particularly tragic and complex.

We are committed to ensuring that victims and their families are compensated for the negligence of truck and bus operators and companies.
