Jefferson County Bus Accident Attorneys
Recent media reports tell a grim tale of tour bus safety. In March, 2011, NBC News reported the story of a tour bus accident that killed 15 people. The bus driver was arrested, and it was later determined that he had a criminal record for driving with a suspended license.
While such stories may not be extremely common, they are far more common than many would like to believe. In May, 2011, a tour bus driver was arrested for reckless driving. According to a report by CBS news, authorities said he was driving while fatigued, and the company he was driving for had allegedly been cited dozens of time for incidents involving fatigued drivers.
