Atlanta Personal Injury Attorneys Advise Motorists, Passengers of New Bus Safety Rules

The Atlanta personal injury attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are advising the public of new proposals designed to keep buses safe for passengers and motorists alike. On May 5, the Federal Motor Carrier Administration announced that it will take new steps to ensure those traveling by bus are kept as safe as possible. As part of the new safety measures, the U.S. Department of Transportation will enforce stricter commercial drivers’ license testing standards, empower the public to check bus companies’ safety records and seek out new regulations to enhance passenger carrier and driver compliance with federal safety laws. The Atlanta personal injury attorneys at Morgan and Morgan hope these new safety measures will improve passenger bus safety and limit the number of bus accidents in Atlanta. 

Atlanta bus accidents, including those involving charter buses, long-distance buses and city buses, can result in catastrophic injuries for those involved. Bus passengers, motorcyclists, pedestrians and drivers of passenger vehicles are among the individuals who are at risk for suffering serious injuries in Atlanta bus accidents. Bus passengers are particularly at risk, as most buses do not contain seatbelts, airbags and other protective features in passenger cars. When a bus passenger or other individual is injured in an accident resulting from another’s negligence, they may have legal recourse to recover compensation with the help of a skilled Atlanta personal injury attorney.  

The Atlanta personal injury attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are dedicated to ensuring that those responsible for Atlanta bus accidents are held accountable for their actions. The bus company, maintenance contractor and bus driver are among the parties which may be liable for bus accident injuries. If you or a loved one was injured in a bus accident, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation against one or more of these entities with the help of the firm’s Atlanta personal injury attorneys.
