Liability for Little Egg Harbor Township School Bus Accident
School buses are typically very safe for passengers. But they can be very dangerous for those in passenger vehicles. According to the National Safety Council, “School bus-related crashes killed 128 people nationwide in 2023, up 23% compared to the 104 deaths in 2022, according to National Safety Council (NSC) tabulations of data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).” Bus drivers should take several measures to avoid collisions.
- Bus drivers should continuously scan the road ahead of them for hazards.
- Bus drivers should check their blind spots before making turns.
- Bus drivers should ensure that their vehicle is well-maintained.
Buses are considered common carriers, and their drivers must operate with an abundance of caution to avoid collisions. Driving a school bus is much more difficult than driving a passenger vehicle. If a school bus driver fails to slow down to avoid colliding with another vehicle, this could form the basis of a negligence claim. Victims of school bus accidents tend to suffer very serious injuries.
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Lacerations
- Spinal cord injuries
Liability for a bus accident could extend beyond any bus driver. Municipalities or companies that a bus driver worked for could also be held at fault. As a general rule, companies are responsible for the negligent actions of their employees who are working within their job duties. Any person injured due to the negligence of a school bus driver may be able to seek some measure of compensation and accountability through a civil claim.
