Imagine a situation where after a catastrophic plane crash, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) finds that the plane didn't have fire extinguishers on board, the fuselage was unstable, and the windows were in a defective condition.  More frightening, the NTSB also determines that the airliner failed to properly maintain the plan, contributing to the cause of the crash.  Would that airliner be still flying today?  Absolutely not.  Case in point: ValuJet.

Now compare that with a serious concern amongst regulators today, the commercial charter bus industry.  In August 2008, a charter bus in Texas carrying a church group crashed near Dallas.  Seventeen passengers were killed in the bus crash, and another 33 were seriously injured.  The post-crash investigation was frightening.  The bus driver's medical exam certificate was expired, and a study determined that a recapped tired had been illegally placed on the bus' steer axle.  The problem is two fold: poor bus design and limited regulatory oversight of the industry.  The result is an industry where companies largely operate in an enviorment free from penalty in the event of a serious bus crash.

If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in a bus crash, time is of the essence.  Your injury claim may largely depend upon what is able to be photograhed and collected at the scene of the crash.  After all, buses are not supposed to crash...so when they do, something clearly went wrong.  Contact Missouri Bus Accident Lawyer Stephen Schultz and get the experienced injury attorneys at Schultz Legal Group on your side.  Our injury lawyers will dispatch to the scene and begin securing the evidence necessary to prove your claim.
