Bus Accident Attorney in Allentown, PA

What Causes Bus Accidents?

Maneuvering a large bus is no easy task, but bus drivers are required to have commercial licenses and special training to operate these immense vehicles. Bus driver negligence, distracted motorists, poor weather conditions, and defective bus or auto parts may cause bus accidents to occur. When they do, numerous people may be seriously injured.

If you or someone you love was injured in a bus accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation. An Allentown bus accident attorney at Knafo Law Offices can talk to you about what to do and what not to do to protect your right to compensation from the bus company or other at-fault party. When we determine fault and prove the value of your claim, you can recover the money you need for medical bills, lost earnings, and possibly much more.

The following are potential causes of bus accidents:

• Driver distraction or negligence
• Drunk driving
• Driving under the influence of illegal or prescription drugs
• Speeding or driving too fast for current conditions
• Poor road conditions and construction problems
• Urban roads with little room for a bus to maneuver
• Defective bus or auto parts
• Adverse weather
• Defective streetlights or hazardous intersections

Understanding Local Bus Accident Challenges in Allentown, PA

Allentown, PA, with its bustling urban environment and growing population, presents unique challenges when it comes to bus transportation. The city's busy streets, such as Hamilton Street and Tilghman Street, are often congested, making it difficult for large buses to navigate safely. Additionally, the frequent construction projects and road maintenance in the area can create hazardous conditions for both bus drivers and passengers.

Local government entities like the Allentown Department of Public Works and the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission are continuously working to improve road safety and infrastructure. However, despite these efforts, accidents still occur, often due to factors like poor road conditions, defective streetlights, and hazardous intersections.

Residents of Allentown and the surrounding areas, including Bethlehem and Easton, are no strangers to the challenges posed by adverse weather conditions.
