Ohio Bus Passengers Bring Suit Against Greyhound

Greyhound Lines, Inc. is facing a federal civil lawsuit brought by three passengers aboard a company bus that flipped over and crashed in Ohio in September. The three passengers who brought the lawsuit are Winston-Salem, NC resident Tyrone Allen, Detroit resident Rayvar Williams, and Halladay, TN resident Lorianne Stevens. The attorney representing the passengers in the lawsuit is Geoffrey Fieger, a lawyer from suburban-Detroit.

The three plaintiffs filed the lawsuit last Friday and requested a jury trial. They allege that Greyhound was negligent and inflicted emotional distress. The Greyhound bus was traveling from Cincinnati to Detroit with fifty-one people aboard on September 14 when it veered off Interstate 75 around twenty-five miles north of Cincinnati. The bus struck a fence and tree. Over thirty people were said to be injured in the accident. The driver of the bus, Dwayne Garrett, was cited by authorities for operating a vehicle without reasonable control. Alexandra Pedrini, a spokeswoman for Greyhound, stated Monday that the company will not discuss a pending lawsuit.

Bus accidents can leave passengers with devastating injuries and a lifetime of rehabilitation. The injuries caused in these accidents can be very severe, including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, or even death, as most buses do not come equipped with passenger seatbelts. Passengers can get thrown into walls, tossed into the aisle, or even ejected from the bus if the driver loses control. Additionally, when mechanical defects are present in a bus, the results can be horrific because buses are so large and have an incredible amount of weight and power behind their movement.
