Types of Buses and Liable Parties
Bus accidents can involve various types of vehicles and multiple responsible parties, making these cases more complex than typical car accident claims. Understanding who can be held liable depends on the type of bus and the circumstances of the crash.
Our team works with cases against:
- Public transit buses. Operated by city or regional transit authorities, these accidents may involve claims against government entities, which have specific filing requirements and shorter deadlines.
- School buses. Districts, school boards, or private transportation companies may be liable when school bus accidents occur due to driver negligence, poor maintenance, or inadequate safety protocols.
- Charter and tour buses. Private companies operating chartered buses for events, tours, or group travel can be held accountable for accidents caused by driver error, mechanical failures, or violations of federal safety regulations.
- Private shuttles. Hotels, airports, assisted living facilities, and corporations operating shuttle services may bear responsibility when their vehicles or drivers cause harm to passengers or others on the road.
- Intercity buses. Commercial carriers like Greyhound or Megabus are subject to federal regulations and can be liable for accidents resulting from driver fatigue, inadequate training, or failure to maintain their fleet.
Depending on the circumstances, liability may extend beyond the bus company to include parts manufacturers, maintenance contractors, or individual drivers. Our team will thoroughly investigate your accident to identify every party that contributed to your injuries. As evidenced by our numerous glowing reviews, we know what it takes to help you navigate the recovery process and secure any compensation you may be entitled to.
