The question of who is responsible for a bus crash comes down to the circumstances surrounding the incident. Glendale bus accidents attorney may find that one or more parties are responsible for the crash, including:

• The bus driver. The driver of the bus may have been distracted, driving under the influence, or unqualified to drive the bus (in which case the bus company could also be held liable)
• The bus company. A bus company may send a defective or poorly maintained bus out on the road. Poorly maintained buses often have overused tires, faulty brakes, or a shaky steering column. T
• The bus maintenance crew. Bus companies often contract independent companies to maintain their vehicles. In this situation, you may be able to independently sue the bus maintenance company for negligence
• The bus manufacturer and parts retailer. A bus manufacturer can be held responsible for a bus crash if they send a defective vehicle or provide a defective part
• School districts/school boards. Because the school board is responsible for hiring the bus driver, it is also responsible for any negligent conduct by that driver. The school board may also be responsible if it is found that they did not enforce or implement proper safety standards
• State/local governments. Your city or county may also bear some responsibility for a bus crash. If the bus is government-owned, for example, you may be able to sue the city or the county for their part in the accident
• Tour operators. Drivers and owners of tour buses can be held liable if the driver of the bus is found to be negligent
• Drivers of other vehicles (and their employers). Owners and drivers of other vehicles on the road can be held responsible for injuries resulting from a bus crash. Employers of drivers on the road may also be liable if the driver was on the clock and performing work duties when the crash occurred
