Over the past 5 years, statistics show that there are over two accidents each day in the state of Pennsylvania alone between school buses and commercial buses. According to the Transportation Research Institute, over the last five years (2005-2009) there have been a total of 2,887 commercial bus accidents that have lead to injuries and 1,911 school bus accidents that have lead to injuries. That is an average of 577 commercial bus accidents per year and 382 school bus accidents per year. The primary causes of bus accidents that result in driver and passenger injuries include:

The most common causes of bus accidents include reckless driving, distracted drivers, bus mechanical problems and roadway maintenance problems. We have worked with victims of many bus cases that were injured in the following vehicles:
