Although bus accidents can happen as a result of various factors, when negligence may be involved, it can specifically take the form of:

  • Bus driver negligence – For instance, bus driver negligence can arise when bus drivers are drunk, fatigued and/or distracted behind the wheel. When drivers fail to abide by traffic laws and/or simply drive aggressively, they can also be deemed has having been negligent if they end up causing bus accidents.
  • The negligence of other motorists on the roads – In some cases, other drivers’ inattention, intoxication and/or other reckless driving behaviors can play a role in causing bus accidents.
  • Bus company negligence – When bus companies fail to properly screen drivers before hiring them, fail to train drivers after they’ve been hired and/or fail to maintain buses or comply with federal bus regulations, these companies may be held accountable for their negligence in bus accident lawsuits.
  • Other negligence – Other forms of negligence that can contribute to bus accidents can include, for instance, the negligence of bus manufacturers (when defective bus equipment leads to accidents) and the negligence of cities or counties (when poor road conditions contribute to bus accidents).
