A bus accident can be devastating event and can often result in serious injury or death.  Even though bus accidents occur less than other motor vehicle accidents, we hear of bus accidents every day throughout the state of Georgia.

According to a report published in 2008 by the Center for National Truck and Bus Statistics, there are over 300 bus accidents reported each year with the majority of those being school bus accidents.  In Georgia, over the five year period from 2004 – 2006, they report there were 47 bus fatality involvements.

While these statistics can tell us how popular an accident may be or how law enforcement, road conditions and other factors can impact the number of fatalities caused by bus accidents, no figure can be applied to the pain and suffering of those injured or killed in these accidents.   Families are devastated and lives are permanently altered as a result of serious bus accidents.  Medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering and disability take their toll, not only on the injured, but also their families and others close to them.   In the case of losing a loved one, no value can be placed on that loss.
