Amtrak Train Crash in Washington State

Hoover Dam Bus Crash Investigation Continues: No Seat Belts Available For Passengers

Our accident lawyers continue to investigate the tour bus accident of a bus owned by D.W. Tours and driven by Han Dong which occurred Saturday afternoon, outside Hoover Dam in Arizona.  As we suspected. It is now confirmed that the D.W. Tours bus did not have seat belts available to the passengers, several of whom were thrown from the bus when it rolled and fatally injured.  This suggests liability not only against the bus operator D.W. Tours but against the manufacturer Starcraft on a product liability claims.  (Note that all references to seat belts have been removed from the Starcraft web site, although the seat belt option clearly appears in the "Create A Bus" web site archive information from 2007).

These cases are always complex, requiring attorneys who understand vehicle defect law.  if you or a loved one has been affected by this avoidable tragedy, you may contact one of our attorneys for a free consultation by calling 866.936.7447 (toll free).

Why No Seat Belts? The Passengers Ejected From The California Tour Bus Had Little Chance at Survival

The Hoover Dam tourists - who had traveled from China to visit U.S. attractions  -  who were thrown outside the bus (ejected) had little chance at survival.  Automobile, truck and bus manufacturers have been arguing in courts of law across this country for three decades that keeping passengers inside the vehicle (whether a tourist bus, common bus, car or truck) is the most important safety item. The mortality rate of passengers who are ejected outside cars, trucks and tourist buses is extremely high, with some studies showing a four fold risk of death. A recent article noted that NHTS has failed to properly identify “compromised compartmentalization” and lack of seat belts as a design defects in school buses.
