Bus Accidents in Idaho

Millions of buses operate within the United States, and approximately 160,000 or more people were injured in crashes involving large trucks or buses over the last year. Unsurprisingly, these collisions are typically much more serious, given that the average weight of a commercial vehicle is so much higher. For instance, a semi-truck exceeds 10,000 pounds.

As a result, large vehicles require more time to come to a complete stop than typical passenger vehicles, and because of a driver's blind spots, smaller vehicle motorists can get caught in the fray. If you're involved in a serious truck or bus accident, you will undoubtedly have numerous questions about the incident itself, the injuries sustained, the medical expenses incurred, and other related costs. Because bus and large commercial vehicle collisions are considerably more severe than the average vehicle crash, it is critical to retain the services of a trusted legal advocate in the aftermath.
