California bus accident shows gamble in such travelby Bruce Westbrook
In California Sunday, a casino tour bus taking passengers from Sacramento to a gambling den flipped over and rolled into a ditch, killing eight people and critically injuring at least 30 others. As this and other bus accidents have shown, buses can be extremely dangerous when they turn over, which they often do. The California Highway Patrol said the bus driver was perhaps on medication, and CHP has charged that driver with driving under the influence. The bus also lacked a valid license plate, having expired Texas plates. Built in the 1980s, the bus also lacked seatbelts, but that’s a common failing on buses. Eight deaths and at least 30 critical injuries is a horrendous price to pay for the negligence of casino owners which fail to provide even modest safety measures for those they entice to their betting meccas via casino tour buses. Yet such devastating tragedies are not uncommon, including all types of chartered buses. In August of this year, 17 Houston people were killed and 38 were injured en route to a religious gathering in a chartered bus accident in north Texas. And that’s just one of many such accidents throughout the country annually. If you or a loved one has suffered from a bus accident, contact a bus accident lawyer with Jim S. Adler & Associates for a free case review and begin your recovery. 2 Responses to “California bus accident shows gamble in such travel”Leave a Reply |
While buses in general can be as risky as trying to draw on an inside straight, casino tour buses can be an even worse bet.
