St. Louis Bus Accident Attorney
Injured in a bus accident in St. Louis?
Buses are an economical and environmentally friendly form of transportation for St. Louis commuters. They are also imperative to parents of students who rely on them to get their children to and from school every day. As buses are what the public transportation industry refers to as "common carriers" and since passengers often pay to be transported, the operators are held to extremely high standards for the high level of responsibility they hold.
When buses are involved in accidents, there is a good chance that passengers will sustain injuries as most buses do not provide safety restraints. Some only have metal poles, grab rails and people standing during transportation - these can cause serious injury upon impact and can leave victims suffering catastrophic injuries as a result of the accident.
