Bus crashes can happen for many reasons. Some of the most common causes include:
Distracted driving or driving under the influence by a bus driver or other motorist
Fatigue or inadequate rest periods for drivers
Mechanical failure or poor maintenance by bus companies
Hazardous road conditions or weather conditions
Negligent supervision of drivers by contractors or transit authorities
Improper lane changes, speeding, or unsafe turns
Pedestrian accidents or cyclist collisions near intersections or school zones
School bus accidents caused by inattentive drivers in residential areas
Because buses are large motor vehicles with many passengers, accidents often result in serious injuries, extensive property damage, or even wrongful death. Investigating these incidents quickly and thoroughly is vital to building a strong personal injury claim.
To understand the traffic and bus safety landscape in Chandler and across Arizona:
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Chandler has a population of approximately 283,000 residents as of 2023, making it one of the largest cities in Maricopa County and part of the Phoenix–Mesa–Chandler metropolitan area.
The City of Chandler Transportation Master Plan reports that the city continuously reviews crash history data provided by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to identify roadway safety priorities and reduce collisions involving passenger and commercial vehicles.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) 2023 Crash Facts Report shows there were 119,991 total traffic crashes statewide, resulting in 1,178 fatalities and 52,411 injuries. Of these, bus-related crashes accounted for 233 incidents, including both school and commercial buses.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) emphasizes that school bus transportation remains one of the safest modes of travel, but collisions still occur due to factors such as distracted driving, unsafe road conditions, or driver negligence.
Data from the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) highlights that Maricopa County, which includes Chandler, consistently reports the highest number of vehicle crashes in the state, underscoring the need for strong road safety enforcement and public awareness.
Although Chandler-specific bus crash data is limited in public records, the combined insights from ADOT, NHTSA, and MAG reveal that Maricopa County’s high traffic volume and growing population contribute to a measurable risk of bus accident injuries each year.
After a bus collision, it’s important to understand your legal rights and next steps:
Statute of limitations: Under Arizona law, you typically have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. Cases involving a government entity (like a public transit system) may have shorter notice periods.
Available damages: Victims may be eligible to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, ongoing medical treatment, and property damage.
Wrongful death claims: Families who lose a loved one in a fatal bus accident may pursue damages for loss of companionship, funeral expenses, and emotional distress.
Insurance company challenges: Insurance companies often attempt to minimize or deny claims. An experienced bus accident attorney can negotiate firmly to seek the full compensation permitted by law.
Evidence matters: Preserving the police report, eyewitness statements, and vehicle data can be crucial for proving negligence and ensuring a fair settlement offer.
Knowing your rights early helps protect your ability to seek fair compensation and navigate the legal process with confidence.
