Bus Accident Lawyers Serving Charleston, SC

It is very common for people to depend on buses to get them to work, school, the grocery store, and anywhere else they need to go. However, sending a child on a school bus usually makes parents worry about whether or not their child will make it to school safe. The same thing tends to cross the minds of those who entrust public bus drivers with their lives every day.

Three Common Causes of Bus Accidents

Bus company negligence - The safety checks done on buses are not quite as thorough for bus companies as they are for airlines, so sometimes things are overlooked that should be addressed such as safe seat belts. In addition to checking to make sure each bus is safe to drive, they also need to make sure every person who wants to drive a bus is trained properly. If a person is not properly trained to drive a bus it puts all the people on the bus in danger. 

Reckless driving - A bus company has rules they must follow that restrict how long a driver can be on the road before they need to take a break. They also have rules about speed, turning, and passing that are in place to keep the passengers on the bus safe. 

Weather conditions - Any snow, rain, or ice can make it difficult to drive at times, which is why it is important to properly train bus drivers how to drive in all types of weather. A bus driver should know to slow down during a heavy rainstorm to reduce the chances of getting into an accident.
