July 22 Greyhound bus accident investigated futher
The Greyhound bus accident that happened on July 22 on Highway 99 near McKinley Avenue in Fresno took six lives that day. This week a reenactment took place to reenact the crash site and attempt to determine if the bus driver responded by braking in a reasonable manner. Tests were done to establish a "brake line" where a person should have applied the brakes after seeing an SUV in the road. This line was then used to measure how long it would take for a bus that was up to speed to come to a complete stop after reaching the brake line. This information will be evaluated and will hopefully help determine liability in the case. If anyone involved in this accident is still in need of reliable and experienced representation please contact us. Our offices are located just 40 miles south of the accident site. www.nelsonrozier.com

Highway 99 crash Greyhound Bus
Highway 99 accident in Fresno claims 6 lives
July 22, 2010--This morning's massive accident on Highway 99 in Fresno took the lives of 6 victims including a bus driver. According to the LA Times, few details have yet emerged.
In a case like this the CHP reports can be delayed for 6 to 12 months. In the meantime vehicles are repaired or salvaged, skids marks dissipate and witnesses return to their daily lives. Families of victims can protect their rights by retaining expert engineers to review physical evidence right away, downloading the event data recorders for each air bag, obtaining the face page of the CHP report within a couple of days, determining the reason for an SUV being overturned in the roadway in the first place, etc. Roadway defects need to be eliminated as a possible contributing factor in causing this accident and finally, will perception/reaction experts support the view that the bus driver did all in his power ot prevent this tragedy?
