A bus belonging to World Wide Travel crashed along Interstate 95 in The Bronx, New York. The crash took place early in the morning on March 12th. The driver of the vehicle lost control and struck two sign poles one after the other. The accident killed 14 instantly and forced the closing of I-95 in both directions for much of the day.

The bus was traveling from a casino in Connecticut to Chinatown in New York. This is not the first incident with this company however. The company had been involved in at least two accidents in the last two years as well as being cited five times for fatigued driving from December 2009 to October 2010.

On top of the deaths there were also serious injuries to some of the survivors. The injuries included things like internal bleeding, broken bones and skull and spinal fractures.

The driver of the vehicle claims that the cause of the accident was a tractor trailer cutting him off, however witnesses claim they did not see that. The accident is still under investigation.

The bus company had a responsibility to keep their passengers safe. Their failure to do so was very costly. If you have lost a loved one in a similar manner, you need help.

Gas Plant Explosion Leaves 1 Dead | Toledo, Ohio wrongful death lawyer

October 7th, 2010 Author: Anneke

In May of 2007 Joshua Petrie was working as a plant operator at Quicksilver Resources, which is a gas processing plant. On May 27 he tried to start a hot oil heater at the plant. After a few attempts at doing this the the heater exploded. He was taken to the hospital with trauma to his head and chest. The next day he passed away.

Hanover Compression, which is the previous owner of the plant was sued along with Quicksilver Resources. The case stated that both had a responsibility to make sure things were properly installed and up to safety standards and regulations. If Hanover had properly installed safety valves and purge systmes this problem could have been avoided. Both Hanover and Quicksilver had been on notice since 2005 about the fact that they did not have these two things installed. Hanover is a big part of the case because they sold the plant to Quicksilver in a ready to use condition.

The case was settled for $82.5 million. Hanover was respoinsible for 80% and Quicksilver was responsible for 20%.
