Newark Airport Bus Accident Kills One Person
A bus accident involving a hotel shuttle bus and another bus at Newark Liberty International Airport have killed one person, and left three injured.
According to news reports, the shuttle bus which was operated by the Marriott Hotel at Newark Airport, collided with a First Transit bus that was carrying Fed-X employees on Wednesday. The driver of the shuttle bus sustained fatal injuries. The driver of the other bus, as well as one passenger in the shuttle bus sustained serious injuries, and are receiving treatment.
Bus accidents can involve school buses, public transportation buses, charter buses, tour buses, contract buses etc. Civil litigation arising out of a bus accident can be complex because of the number of parties who may be liable. Individuals who have been injured or lost their loved ones in an accident are required to file such claims before the statute of limitations, or the time limit to file a claim, runs out. The statute of limitation for auto accidents in our state is two years from the date of the accident.
Injured persons may feel pressured to settle with the bus owner or operator. In cases of accidents involving public transportation buses that are owned by public agencies, litigation becomes even more complex and takes a longer period of time. It’s important to consult with a New Jersey bus accident lawyer before negotiating with the parties involved.
