A fully loaded bus weighs nearly 50,000 pounds and could demolish most passenger vehicles, killing or maiming the latter’s occupants. As most buses lack seat belts, the chances of their passengers also being injured in a crash are high.nCommon bus accident injuries include:nInternal bleedingnAmputationnSevere burnsnLacerationsnBroken bonesnSpinal cord injuriesnTraumatic brain injuriesnPhysical and emotional injuries may require time off work, as well as lengthy and costly medical treatment.
