Who Can Be Held Liable For School Bus Accidents?

These accidents can be very complicated. There may be multiple victims and there can be many contributing factors:

  • School buses do not have to have seat belts
  • Some bus stops are poorly designed
  • Some are owned privately others publicly

Many different people and entities can be held responsible. A few examples include:

  • School bus driver
  • School district
  • Private school, church, or other organization that owned and operated the bus
  • Private company contracted to provide transportation for the school
  • Third party who had repaired and maintained the bus
  • School bus manufacturer
  • Driver of another vehicle
  • Government entity responsible for roadway design, construction, and maintenance

The bus company itself may also be held liable as they have a duty to ensure that their drivers are properly trained and rested, as well as the obligation to properly maintain their vehicles. Failure to do either can constitute negligence, which they can be held responsible for.
