Transit Bus Accidents in Nevada
A large bus moves quickly and has the potential to cause severe harm in the event of a crash. You would want to believe that riding on or traveling near a bus on the road is totally safe. Unfortunately, collisions may include any kind of vehicle. In the United States, there are claimed to be over 60,000 bus accidents every year. Although the majority of these collisions only result in property damage, thousands of people are hurt, and hundreds of people die every year. Approximately 14,000 of these injuries are related to some sort of traffic accident. It is crucial that you be prepared to work with an experienced lawyer to defend your legal rights following a catastrophic crash.
