Is the Bus Company to Blame for a Bus Accident?
After a bus accident, it is easy to blame the bus driver for it – but is it correct to blame them? With an investigation, it might be possible to uncover that other parties are more or solely liable for the crash, such as the bus company. Indeed, it is more common to file against a bus company than an individual bus driver because liability can so often be traced back to a company's negligence.
A bus company can be liable for a bus accident if it:
- —Hired a bus driver without the correct license.
- —Fails to adequately train new bus drivers.
- —Keeps unreasonable work schedules that cause bus driver exhaustion.
- —Does not maintain its fleet of buses, resulting in a mechanical failure risk.
Serious Injuries Caused by Bus Accidents
In the average bus, there are no seatbelts installed to protect passengers from harm during a crash. Instead, the bus depends on its large frame and weight to prevent passenger injury. However, these same protective elements make buses even more dangerous to people on the street and in other vehicles. As a result, bus accidents are often associated with catastrophic injuries.
Our law firm can help with bus accident claims that involve the following serious injuries and more:
- —Amputations
- —Multiple broken bones
- —Spinal cord injuries
- —Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
