Bus accidents can be more complicated than other motor vehicle crashes. In addition to extra licensing and insurance regulations, claims may be available against both the bus operator and his or her employer. Yet, even if several defendants share responsibility for the negligence, bus accident victims deserve compensation for their injuries. A bus accident attorney can help hold drivers accountable for any breaches in the standard of care and safe driving.

What Are The Common Causes Of Bus Accidents?

While buses are built to be more durable than the average passenger vehicle, they are also often designed without important safety features, such as seat belts. Bus accidents can be caused by driver negligence.

Driver negligence could be due to:

  • Driver fatigue
  • Speeding
  • Driving under the influence of drugs
  • Distracted driving
  • Unsafe driving in bad weather
  • Driver aggression
  • Failure to follow federal and state regulations
  • General negligence

Bus company negligence includes:

  • Improper vehicle maintenance
  • Lack of inspections
  • Unsafe equipment
  • Inadequate training
  • Failure to follow state and federal regulations
