South Carolina Bus Accident Lawyers

One of the most tragic but frequently occurring vehicle accidents are ones involving buses and school buses. Because buses carry large numbers of people, are often stopping and starting repeatedly, and are larger than other vehicles, they are required to abide by a strict set of laws in South Carolina. If you or someone you love has been injured in a bus accident in South Carolina contact an experienced South Carolina bus accident lawyer from our firm immediately.

School bus laws are unique in that they carry large numbers of young people, are larger vehicles, are government owned and operated and must abide by stringent training and driving regulations. Most school buses do not have seat belts or safety restraints for children. This makes it especially dangerous to stand or move around while the bus is in motion. Other drivers on the road must also follow special laws when driving near or around school buses and are responsible for learning those laws.

City buses and intrastate and interstate buses are also required to abide by several important safety regulations. Drivers must not drive over a certain amount of hours in a 24 hour period, they must be properly trained and licensed, and they must travel at slower speed limits than other drivers. City and public buses are also covered under specialized laws throughout South Carolina.

Frequently occurring injuries on buses include falls while riding a bus, crashes on freeways or city streets, other drivers not paying attention to the bus, frequent stops and starts, high speeds, driver negligence and many other reasons. Passengers of buses are also often injured while waiting for a bus, while boarding or disembarking from a bus, and while standing or walking in bus terminals.
