City & Public Transit Accidents

When someone riding a city or public transit bus is injured or killed due to the negligence of the bus driver or because the bus company fails to properly maintain the bus, the victim may be able to receive compensation from the city, the government or the driver themselves. However, there are complicated laws that come into play when a bus is owned by a city, state or federal government.

Commercial Bus Accidents

Buses operated by large companies such as Trailways or Greyhound are considered common carriers, very similar to how taxi cabs are regulated. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, commercial buses and large trucks were involved in 3,802 crashes in 2012. There are no statistics regarding how many of those were only commercial bus accidents, as they are not separated by the agency for reporting purposes.

School Bus Accidents

Approximately 17,000 school children are injured in school bus accidents each year. These injuries occur when a bus is involved in an accident with another vehicle, but they also occur when children are boarding or exiting the school bus at a bus stop. There have been incidences of severe injury when a driver brakes suddenly and a child falls from the seat or is thrown against the side of the bus during a sharp turn.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for Bus Accidents?

For example, if a child is injured in a school bus accident and the bus is owned by a private company, the company can be held responsible for the actions of their driver. Even if a bus is owned by a city or state government, they may not be protected by sovereign immunity if negligence can be proven on the part of the driver or the governmental agency who may not have maintained their buses properly. The only way to know for sure who can be held responsible for bus accident injuries is to contact our Bus Accident Attorneys to learn what your next steps should be.
