Bus Accident Lawyer at Williams Kherkher

Deciding who is liable for your injuries is the first step in organizing an effective lawsuit. Consulting an experienced bus accident lawyer can help you decide who the defendants are in your case. Bus accidents have a variety of causes, including poorly trained drivers, debris in the road, weather conditions, other drivers, and even defective tires.

If tires are defective, they are much more likely to blow out or experience tread separation. Tire manufacturers and bus maintenance staff are responsible for the upkeep of the tires placed on buses. They decide which kind of tires to place on a bus based on the bus's center of gravity, load capacity, and other related factors. Ensuring that buses have the right sized tires on is one of the most important maintenance responsibilities. If tires and rims are incorrectly matched, parts can rupture and cause major bus and passenger vehicle accidents, resulting in serious injuries. Uneven tread-wear is also a problem for bus drivers and can be caused by misalignment, tires that need to be rotated, under inflation, as well as worn shocks. If tires have uneven treads, tire blowout and hydroplane may occur.

Scheduled inspections are vital in keeping buses in a safe operating condition. If buses are not properly maintained, defective tires may blow out while the bus is in use, causing dangerous accidents on the roadways.
