Types of Bus Accidents

Buses are not always equipped with the same safety features as other passenger vehicles. Additionally, buses are larger and heavier than other vehicles on the road. Therefore, bus accidents often result in greater injuries and property damage than regular car accidents.

There are many vehicles that are classified as buses, such as the following:

Passenger vans that carry 15
Public transportation buses
School buses
Prison buses
Hotel and airport shuttle buses

Responsibility for an accident may lie with one or more of these parties:

Private school or church
Manufacturer, seller, or rental company of a defective bus
Manufacturer or seller of defective bus parts
Third-party contracted to maintain or repair bus
Negligent driver of another vehicle

Property or business owner where an accident was due to dangerous premises

An experienced Bergen County bus accident lawyer can determine which parties are liable for a bus accident.
