  • Accident Report: Seattle Taxi Accident
    Description: As he was taking a yellow cab through town when it was unexpectedly struck from behind by M.M, who failed to notice the stopped traffic ahead and was unable to stop his vehicle in time. J.B.’s cab was stopped at an intersection behind one other vehicle. The impact from M.M’s vehicle pushed the cab into the rear of the other vehicle, thus causing a second impact. Seattle Police responded to the accident scene and upon investigation cited M.M. for “following too closely”.
  • Bus Accidents: Who is liable?
    Description: Buses are generally thought to be a safe method of travel; after all, they are significantly larger than other vehicles on the road and many buses do not even come equipped with seat belts. A study by the National Bus Safety Council between the years 1987 and 1996 found 4.3 bus rider fatalities per year compared to 44,000 passenger vehicle fatalities over the same time frame. However, buses are involved in an alarming number of crashes, many of which prove fatal.
  • Center for National Truck and Bus Statistics-CNTBS
    Description: The Center for National Truck and Bus Statistics was established in 1988 to formalize the national program to collect and analyze truck accident data, which had begun with the 1980 data year. Since then the program has expanded to include a survey of bus crashes.
