Bus accidents<\/a> on Georgia roads and highways many times result in serious injury and sometimes death<\/a> for passengers. Many people do not realize that under Georgia law, common carriers such as bus companies and airlines owe their passengers the duty to exercise extraordinary care in the operation of the bus or airplane which is a higher legal duty than is normally owed. Specifically, the Official Code of Georgia Annotated \u00a746-9-1 provides as follows:
\n\u201cCarriers as such are bound to exercise ordinary diligence. Common carriers as such are bound to use extraordinary diligence, and in cases of loss the presumption of law is against them, and no excuse avails them unless the loss was occasioned by the act of God or the public enemies of the state.\u201d
\nIf you or a loved one have been seriously injured in a bus accident<\/a>, as a passenger on a bus or any other common carrier, call the Georgia injury lawyers<\/a> at Finch McCranie, LLP<\/a> to discuss your rights. We have been representing clients in personal injury and wrongful death <\/a>cases for over 45 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
