Bus Accidents in Chicago
Crashes involving school buses and passenger vehicles, such as the recent collision in Chicago, can cause serious injuries and emotional distress for those involved. Even when no children are on board, these accidents can lead to significant harm to drivers and passengers.
According to data from the Illinois Department of Transportation, school bus accidents are relatively rare compared to other traffic incidents, but they often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of the buses. When a smaller vehicle collides with a commercial bus, the impact can cause major trauma, bleeding, or long-term complications.
Drivers must use extra caution near schools, intersections, and busy streets during early morning hours when school transportation is most active. Many of these accidents occur because of:
- Distracted or drowsy driving in the early hours
- Failing to yield near bus stops
- Speeding or unsafe lane changes around large vehicles
- Poor visibility or weather-related conditions
Those injured in bus accidents or other vehicle crashes in Chicago may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, multiple parties could share liability, including the driver, bus company, or even the city if road conditions contributed to the crash.
