Whenever you board a LANTA bus, buy a ticket on a Greyhound or send your child on a school bus, you are taking a risk. The risk for an accident of this type is much smaller than the risks associated with standard cars, but the risk is still there. If you or a loved one were injured or killed while riding a bus, please contact an Allentown bus accidents attorney immediately.
Busses are legally known as a common carrier, which means they have the highest possible responsibility to their passengers. If passengers cannot get to their destinations in a safe, reliable manner, the bus company is responsible.

When an accident occurs, the bus company can be subject to an accident lawsuit in Pennsylvania.
