"Thank you very much for all the work that you did on our behalf. I really appreciate everything that you all did, as well as your professionalism and the timely manner in which you got things done.
Also, please give our thanks to your staff who were so helpful when we had questions! If we have need of your services or if we know anyone else who does anytime in the future, we will certainly give you a call! Thank you again for everything."
"A little over two years ago I received a telephone call that all parents dread to hear. The person on the other line simply said, “Your daughter has been in an accident”. Well here I was 1500 miles away from her , trying to absorb the rest of the conversation, trying to stay focused enough to get the details. Shortly after I arrived in Texas my lovely daughter of 38 years passed away from injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident.
I won’t continue this story, however what I will say is, when things calmed down a little, I knew I must become a voice for my daughter. Though a chain of events our family was introduced to the Ammons Law Firm of Houston, Texas.
From the first initial contact with Mr. Robert Ammons and his staff, I hung up the telephone feeling as if I and my family were in good hands. We had constant contact from Ohio to Texas via the telephone and the computer for two years. The staff made all the arrangements anytime I had to fly to Texas and made sure I had comfortable accommodations while I was there.
My family and I were kept abreast of the progress for our case on a regular basis. Anytime I had any questions, the staff was polite, informative, and punctual with the answers.
I am very satisfied with the level of concern and commitment Mr. Ammons and his staff displayed from the beginning to the conclusion of our association.
I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone who might be seeking one.
Thank You Mr. Ammons and your staff."

June 1, 2011: Federal regulators have suspended the bus company that owns the Sky Express touring company citing multiple safety, and operations violations. In March, a World Wide Tours bus driver returning to Chinatown from a Connecticut casino swerved off Interstate 95 in the Bronx, slicing the bus in half and killing 15 people. Two days later, a Super Luxury Tours bus headed from Chinatown to Philadelphia crashed on the New Jersey Turnpike, killing two people, including the driver.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said Wednesday that it had responded to the accidents by increasing enforcement, including conducting more than 3,000 surprise inspections of passenger buses during the first two weeks of May, which led to the suspensions of 127 drivers and 315 unsafe buses being taken out of service.
In New York, lawmakers have called for stricter regulations of the tour bus industry, including requiring carriers to apply to the city for permits in addition to the operating licenses they are required to obtain from the federal government.
"Why do these tragedies keep recurring with depressing regularity?" says bus crash attorney Rob Ammons. "The problem is twofold. First, buses are not nearly as safe as they could be. Because of political pressure, inertia, or lack of will, safety features that can increase survivability in bus accidents are not required as standard equipment on buses."
"Second, the regulatory structure that is supposed to protect the traveling public is abysmal. Not only have regulators failed to require safer buses, they also aren't enforcing the regulations that do exist. The result is an environment where bus operators and drivers feel free to operate outside the rules without fear of consequences."
Common tour busses also lack the three basic components that keep passengers in busses during a crash, thereby increasing their chance of survival; seatbelts, strong roofs and window glazing.

You many be entitled to adequate compensation if you have been injured or suffered lost wages or income in any way due to a bus accident, collision or because of negligence on the bus driver's part.
Rough Record of Bus Safety
In a recent Houston Chronicle report about incidences of Houston bus accidents, it is abundantly clear commuter traffic is anything but safe. Metro buses were involved in more than 1,000 collisions last year — hundreds of which were deemed preventable or resulted in damages and injuries to riders, drivers and pedestrians. On average, that's nearly three accidents or fender benders each day.
Two accidents in 2010 involved buses and Metro's light rail — both the result of bus drivers running red lights, authorities said. In one case, 19 people were injured, and in the other, nine.
And although such dramatic calamities are rare, bus collisions , bus injuries and bus traffic tickets are not.
The Chronicle's review of accidents, citations and breakdowns involving the Metropolitan Transit Authority's 1,210 buses documented a total of 1,029 wrecks in 2009.
Metro Police classified 338 of them as “preventable,” meaning the bus drivers involved in the bus accidents could have taken measures to prevent the accidents; 220 caused at least $1,000 in damages or resulted in people ending up at hospitals.
Drivers have been ticketed hundreds of times in the last five years. Among the most common offenses:
400: Speeding related
112: Failure to stop for a red light
119: Lane changing problems
47: Failure to yield the right of way

A fitting remedy for upfitted trucks
Companies that ‘upfit’ truck bodies for specific functions such as utility work should make engineering and design modifications rooted in safety. When they haven’t, here’s how to prove their negligence.

In March, a World Wide Tours bus driver returning to Chinatown from a Connecticut casino swerved off Interstate 95 in the Bronx, slicing the bus in half and killing 15 people.
