Bus Accidents

Name: Bus Accidents
Brand: Espinoza & Brock
Rating: 4.1 (112 reviews)

Thankfully, bus accidents do not occur as frequently as smaller vehicle crashes but when they do happen, the results are devastating. The sheer size and mass of a bus and the fact that this one vehicle can be carrying 80 or more passengers means that an accident involving a single bus could result in many people being seriously injured or killed.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation:

There were approximately 2,600 bus accidents in a recent year
About 600 of those were school bus accidents
Over 800 of those reported accidents involved at least one injury or fatality

Bus Accident Liability Is Not Always Cut and Dried

Bus drivers have a huge responsibility when it comes to the safety of passengers. They are required to have a commercial driver’s license and the laws regarding operation of such large vehicles are much more strict. For instance, a BAC of .04% is considered legally intoxicated for a bus driver—there’s no room for error. The following are some common causes of bus accidents that may be evidence of the driver’s and the bus company’s responsibility:

Texting while driving
Driving while intoxicated
Speeding
Failure to stop
Failure to yield
Failures of a mechanical nature (steering, tires, brakes, etc)
Improper maintenance of the vehicle
Reckless driving by a third party
