Party Bus Death of Young Mother of Five Highlights Need for Caution, says Legal Defenders at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A January 30 article on ABC 7 Eyewitness News reports on the tragic death of a young mother of five who fell while dancing on a party bus two days before her thirtieth birthday. According to the article, 29-year-old Heather Garcia was celebrating both a relative's birthday and her own when she tripped and fell during the early morning of January 29. Authorities then said that the bus was traveling on the 101 Freeway before 3:00 a.m. in Downtown Los Angeles when the victim fell out of the bus's door and into early morning traffic where she was struck and killed by a vehicle. Los Angeles-based Legal Defenders at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock says that these kinds of tragic chain-reaction deaths and injuries can often be prevented with the use of caution and common sense on the part of drivers, private transportation providers, and even passengers.

The firm notes that businesses that provide transportation to the public are under an obligation to minimize risks at all times. Such decisions as being mindful whether or not it is safe to allow dancing or standing, taking great care to ensure that doors are closed and able to withstand impacts, and ensuring that drivers are always exercising best practices are essential.

The Law Offices of Burg & Brock adds that, at the same time, passengers should also try to be aware of their surroundings and exercise good judgment. This includes taking stock of the situation, avoiding becoming excessively intoxicated, and watching out for others who may have overindulged.

The firm says Heather Garcia's tragic death proves that privately operated transportation cannot be assumed to offer complete safety. People who are intoxicated should be encouraged to sit down. The law office notes that, even if the bus door had prevented Heather Garcia from falling onto the freeway, she still could have sustained an extremely painful and debilitating injury.

It's only natural for partygoers to want to celebrate but both transportation providers and passengers need to be aware that there is no such thing as completely risk-free travel. While tragic accidents can happen to anyone, a little awareness and common sense can minimize the odds of becoming a victim.
