Who Is Responsible for a Bus Accident?

After suffering injuries in a bus accident, you will naturally want to know who is going to be held responsible. Who is liable for your injuries, and who is going to pay for them? Several parties could be responsible for the accident, including:

The bus company
A government agency
The individual owner of the bus
A school board
The bus manufacturer or retailer
The bus driver
A bus passenger
The negligent driver of a vehicle

To determine what happened and who is responsible, we will obtain and review the police report and eyewitness accounts. Then, we will speak with other passengers, pedestrians, or other motorists who were involved in the accident or who saw it happen. Finally, we will look for photos and videos of the crash. If we are not able to reach a settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance company, we will file a lawsuit against the parties to gain more evidence. Through the discovery process, we can access bus company records and depose the bus drivers and individuals. Once we have gathered and reviewed all of the possible evidence, we will confirm the liable party and vigorously pursue full and fair compensation for your injuries.
