Lawsuit Filed in Colorado Bus Crash

Members of a Dallas-area church were traveling on a ski trip in Colorado in December 2010 when their chartered bus was involved in a collision, injuring nine of the passengers. The suit alleges that the driver of the bus, Fred Kornegay of the company Gotta Go Express Trailways, Inc., was engaging in unsafe driving practices before the crash occurred, despite the treacherous conditions of the road. The collision occurred when Kornegay attempted to make a turn at too great a speed, losing control of the vehicle. The lawsuit asks for an unspecified amount of damages.

Lawsuit Filed Over Fall from Palo Alto Shuttle Bus Settled

Months later, Flores began experiencing neurological symptoms, including difficulty concentrating.

Whole Foods Big Rig Case Settled

On October 16, 2005, a touring bus carrying the members of the Chippewa Falls High School marching band collided with a semi truck that had overturned on a Wisconsin highway. Five people on the bus were killed in the collision, including several of the band directors. Recently, a wrongful death case brought by the surviving family members of one of the band directors was settled by the upscale grocery store chain, Whole Foods, which owned the semi truck.

It was found that the truck driver, Michael Kozlowski, regularly committed a number of egregious safety violations, including driving on only a few hours of sleep and beginning his shift soon after spending hours consuming alcohol in local drinking establishments.

Although Kozlowski was cleared of criminal charges in the case, Whole Foods recently reached a settlement with several families of those killed in the crash. The terms of these settlements remain undisclosed.
