Bus Accidents in Pennsylvania 

Bus accidents are not as common as many other accidents throughout the state of Pennsylvania. However, when they do occur, they tend to lead to some of the most catastrophic harm in the event of an accident. In Pennsylvania in one recent year, approximately 631 bus accidents took place, with 458 of them leading to injuries. Buses are known as common carriers, which means that drivers are supposed to take passengers from one place to another. This also means that passengers are supposed to be kept safe from harm. If you have been hurt in a bus accident that is not your fault, you should speak with an attorney that you can trust.

The aftermath of a bus accident might be one of the most devastating things that you have ever endured. This is especially true if you have sustained serious injuries in a collision. Many serious injuries stem from bus crashes each year, including some of the following:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
