Recovering Compensation for Bus Accident Victims
Liable Parties in a Bus Accident
Filing a bus accident claim in South Florida can be deceptively complicated. Particularly, identifying all of the liable parties can be a challenge. If you bring your bus accident claim against the wrong defendant, it can add a large delay to your case’s timeline. Or, if you don’t bring your claim against all possible defendants, you could feasibly miss out on deserved compensation. It will be our job as your bus accident attorneys to sort through all the details of your claim to name all possible liable parties.
Who can be liable for a bus accident?
- Bus company: In many situations, the company that owns and manages the bus that crashed will be responsible for passenger damages. This is typically the case for charter buses for tourists, traveling, etc.
- Bus driver: Rarely, the bus driver might be accountable for damages, depending on the cause of the bus accident, ownership of the bus, insurance coverages, and more.
- Another driver: When a bus is struck by another vehicle and the bus driver could not have reasonably prevented the accident, the fault could lie on that other driver.
- Local municipality: In some cases, a local municipality can be partially liable for a bus accident. For example, if you are riding a city bus when it crashes, the city could have some responsibility, especially if it knew the bus driver had a history of reckless or negligent driving yet allowed them to continue operating a bus in the city’s name.
