Due to record level gas prices, traffic congestion and long commutes, more and more people across the country are turning to public transportation. In Texas, thousands of people ride buses daily as their main means of transportation, and a large number of children ride buses to and from school everyday. Throughout the U.S., a bus is considered a common carrier, which means that the bus company including the driver is under the highest duty to act responsibly and provide safe transportation. Unfortunately, bus accidents happen without notice and cause serious personal injuries to thousands of innocent people each year.
There are many factors that may contribute to a bus accident or school bus accident such as driver negligence or weather conditions. Other factors include:
- Bus driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DWI/DUI)
- Reckless driving and behavior
- Defective machinery or parts in the bus
- Failure to regularly maintain bus
- Dangerous or hazardous road conditions
- Inadequate security
- And others
