While you may not think about them unless you need to use one, buses are everywhere. How many of these do you see on a daily basis:
Buses provide valuable services for us and keep more vehicles off the roadways. They take our children to and from school and offer an affordable alternative to taxis.
But what happens if they get into an accident?
Buses are large vehicles and weigh tens of thousands of pounds. When they are involved in accidents, the potential for severe damage is high. Not only will the many passengers on board the bus be hurt, but a bus can affect dozens of vehicles and pedestrians at once.
Most buses are operated by companies or government entities such as school districts and are required to be inspected and maintained regularly for safety. If these regular inspections are skipped and a vital malfunction is missed, who is liable for any damages in case of an accident?
In Pennsylvania, becoming a bus driver is not easy. Drivers must obtain their commercial driver’s license and pass specific endorsements for type of bus they will drive. What happens of your bus driver is operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or is driving while distracted, and gets into an accident?
