Introduction

At Zneimer & Zneimer P.C., we provide expert legal representation for bus accident victims in Chicago. Our team’s knowledge extends beyond general personal injury law to include a deep understanding of both commercial and safety regulations affecting passenger carriers.

Understanding Bus Accidents and Federal Regulations

Bus accidents are complex and can be influenced by a range of factors, including the intricacies of Federal regulations. Our legal approach is informed by a comprehensive understanding of these regulations and how they impact cases involving bus accidents.

We examine whether a passenger carrier is engaged in interstate commerce, as defined by Title 49 section 13501 of the United States Code. This includes transporting passengers across state lines or international boundaries. Our team distinguishes between for-hire and private carriers. For-hire carriers, even those that are not-for-profit, are subject to specific FMCSA operating authority registration and financial responsibility requirements.

We assess whether for-hire passenger carriers meet the necessary financial responsibility levels, such as the required insurance coverage, which is $1.5 million for vehicles carrying 15 or fewer passengers and $5 million for those with 16 or more passengers.

Safety is paramount in passenger transportation. We delve into whether the carrier meets Federal safety jurisdiction, particularly if their vehicles operate in interstate commerce and meet the definition of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).

We check compliance with Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) requirements, ensuring drivers are appropriately licensed and have undergone necessary drug and alcohol testing. Our understanding extends to various exemptions and exceptions that may apply to specific types of bus operations, such as hotel-related or education-related transportation.
