Common Types of Cases Our Glendale Bus Accident Attorneys Represent 

 Glendale’s local bus service, the Beeline, provides residents with nine local fixed routes and is designed to complement county-wide Metro bus services. For longer distances, Greyhound also offers a regular schedule through the local Glendale bus station. All of these can help you save time, money, and wear and tear on your vehicle. Unfortunately, they can also expose you to potentially serious risks. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we help clients that have been injured as a result of bus accidents. With so many relying on public transit, these occur far more commonly in our area than most riders think.

• Bus crashes involving other buses or motorists;

• On board incidents, such as sudden jolts that throw you from your seat; 
• Bus stop accidents, which may involve pedestrians or bicyclists;

Who Is Responsible For My Bus Accident Injuries? 

Bus accidents typically occur due to the reckless and negligent actions of the bus driver or the company they work for. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that among the most common causes include:

• Reckless driving behaviors; 
• Lack of proper training; 
• Improper bus maintenance; 
• Over scheduling and overcrowding of bus passengers.

Bus accidents can also be caused by the negligence of workers at the bus station, other passengers, or due to manufacturers who supply bus companies with faulty parts. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our Glendale bus accident attorneys identify those responsible for your injuries so that they can be held accountable in a claim.
