Who Is Liable for a Bus Accident?

Bus accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including driver error, poor vehicle maintenance, and defective bus parts. Determining liability in a bus accident case can be challenging, as there are often multiple parties who may be at fault.

Some of the potentially liable parties in a bus accident case include:

  • The bus driver

  • Another driver
