What these records mean if you were injured
Fleet-wide averages don't decide individual cases. Liability turns on what this specific driver, dispatcher, and vehicle's logs show in the hours before your crash.
Across 119 federal inspections in the past two years, Badger Coaches's vehicle out-of-service rate (1.6%) places below the median of comparable high-inspection-volume carriers with crash records.

In Missouri, a personal-injury lawsuit must generally be filed within 5 years of the crash.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.
Why timing matters
State law may give you years to file a claim — but the evidence often doesn't last that long. Dashcam and onboard data can be overwritten within days. Federal rules require carriers to keep a driver's electronic logs (ELD) for only six months; after that, deletion is lawful. A preservation letter from an attorney puts the carrier on formal notice — destroying evidence after that point risks court sanctions.
