Forms of Aggressive Driving and Injuries Caused by it

Posted by Brian Thomas on August 27th, 2015

Among the more dangerous forms of driving is aggressive driving. A driver may want to get to a place so quickly that they lose consideration for drivers and hazards around them. In other cases, they may be aggressive because, sadly, they’re just bullies. Whatever the case may be, aggressive driving is so dangerous that it is responsible for over 1,500 fatalities and injuries every year according to a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. When people consider aggressive driving, they often think of cars, motorbikes, taxis etc. But what if a public transportation vehicle, like a bus, is involved in a case of aggressive driving in which people get hurt?

Buses are generally seen as a safer alternative to most forms of public transportation. They are large vehicles that are well equipped with laws that protect it from other drivers. But if the bus driver is being aggressive, all of that goes out the window and that bus could just become a large death machine. Aggressive driving could lead to the following injuries:

• Brain Damage
• Emotional Trauma
• Spinal Cord Damage
• Broken Bones
• Internal Bleeding
• Coma
• Death

There are many forms of aggressive driving ranging from speeding, tailgating, and running red lights could all be covered in this situation. There is no reason for a bus driver to ever drive recklessly. The injuries above could not only be emotionally and physically painful but they could make for a horrible financial situation. Treating these conditions could require medication, therapy and frequent medical visits. These could all get in the way of a proper work schedule which could make it difficult for a victim to keep their head above water.

In these cases, it is best to act as quickly as possible. If you or someone you know has been injured in a bus accident as a result of someone’s reckless driving, contact a lawyer today. You may be eligible for compensation!
