Luxury Bus Accident Lawyers Focus on Accidents Involving Patrons of Harrah’s Hoosier Park
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 300 fatal bus accidents occur annually in the U.S. Fatalities, property damage, and the risk of serious injuries and disability are all potential outcomes of luxury and excursion bus accidents.
Bus companies have a duty to ensure that their passengers arrive to and from their destinations safely. Some common causes of bus accidents include:
- Reckless driving
- Adverse weather conditions
- Poor visibility
- Improper bus maintenance
- Faulty bus equipment
- Treacherous roadways
- Bus driver fatigue
- Driver inattention due to the use of alcohol or drugs
Proving Liability for a Bus Accident
Those who could be held liable for bus accident injuries include:
- Bus drivers
- Bus management companies
- Bus equipment manufacturers
- Negligent drivers of other vehicles
- Government entities, if improper road maintenance is an issue
In order to prove liability for a luxury or excursion bus accident, obtaining a copy of the driver’s logbook is critical, since state and federal laws dictate how many hours a bus operator is legally allowed to drive before taking a break. Find the electronic control module (black box) for the bus and reviewing the information it contains can also be extremely helpful.

Some common bus accident injuries include:
- Fractures and contusions
- Traumatic brain injury
- Internal organ damage
