Casino tour bus accidents need a no-gamble bus accident lawyer
Do you feel lucky? Well, do you?
If so, you might want to try your luck in multiple ways. One would be planning a trip to a casino resort in order to gamble. Another would be to take such a trip via a chartered casino tour bus.
uch buses are operated in order to ferry large groups of people across a significant distance to a casino, where they are expected to gamble. Often the passengers pay very little, since the casino figures it will make even more money via the passengers’ gambling losses.
This strategy proved tragically unlucky for a group of South Carolina people who recently visited Harrah’s Tunica casino in northwest Mississippi. For their trip back home on Sunday, 43 people rode a casino bus from the casino toward an airport. Along the way, the bus flipped over onto a median, killing three people and injuring several others.
On that same day, a casino bus was ferrying workers from a resort in Primm, Nev. back to Las Vegas. This bus, too, veered off the road and onto a median, injuring four persons critically and injuring as many as 25 more people. After finding tire tread on the road, investigators believe a blown tire may have contributed to the crash.
Just last week, another casino tour bus collided with a tomato truck in central California, injuring 13 people. Passengers reported the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel. And just last month, 35 people were injured while riding a casino tour bus taking them to a casino in Iowa.
Of course, a bus accident can occur for many reasons, from improper maintenance of the bus to unsafe operation by the bus driver. Weather also can be a factor, as it was raining at the site of the Mississippi bus crash. But a cautious driver can offset rainy weather.
Even with good drivers, buses are not inherently safe vehicles. They are top-heavy and easily turn over, and due to their weight, they can’t stop suddenly or veer to avoid a wreck without often losing control. Buses also are highly unlikely to be equipped with seat belts. They have many windows that can break and often have an unsupported ceiling which can squash victims inside if the bus overturns.
In the event of a casino tour bus accident, call a Texas casino tour bus accident lawyer with Jim S. Adler & Associates to seek a legal remedy. The firm offers a free case review and, if your case is accepted, works on a contingency basis with no retainer fee. You pay nothing unless your case prevails, and then only a percent of the recovery.
That, at least, is a safe bet because Adler, “the Texas Hammer,” leads a team of tough, smart attorneys who know how to secure justice without gambling away your chances.
