Bus Crashes in Phoenix, AZ

Bus crashes causing injuries in the United States are more common than you might think, and you are not alone in your suffering if you have been involved in such an accident. Your injuries may be very severe due to the lack of restraints, hitting fixtures in the bus, broken glass, etc. The Knowles Law Firm also represents victims who were hit by a bus whether inside another vehicle or not. A bus can weigh over 28,000 pounds, which is many times the weight of a common passenger vehicle – not to mention if you were involved in an accident while you were on a motorcycle or bicycle.
