Washington Bus Accident Linked to Driver Fatigue

Driving fatigue accidents involving buses or vans can be extremely deadly when they occur, usually because most of the occupants are not wearing seatbelts. In addition, they are also likely to occur at high speeds.

A recent bus accident in Washington illustrates the danger of driving fatigue. According to the Gaea News, a charter bus carrying 53 passengers drove over the side of a cliff, killing nine passengers. Most of the occupants were ejected from the bus. An NTSB investigation cited driver fatigue as the primary cause of the accident.

Bus accidents and van crashes can cause severe personal injuries and have lasting consequences. If you have been involved in a driving fatigue accident on a bus or van, the driver and the bus company may be liable for your injuries. It's important that you consult with a personal injury attorney that specializes in driver fatigue accidents in Boston, Massachusetts.

When you are interviewing personal injury attorneys ask critical questions, like: how long have you been practicing; what is the largest settlement or verdict you've obtained, and do you have experience with bus or van accidents caused by fatigued drivers?
