Common Causes of Bus Accidents

For the most part, bus drivers are responsible, safe professionals who do all they can to avoid a crash. But unfortunately, these drivers are susceptible to the same moments of carelessness and negligence as other motorists.

When a bus driver causes a crash, it may be due to one of the following:

  • Drunk driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Reckless driving
  • Inadequate driving experience
  • Inadequate training

There are several other ways that the accident may be linked to someone else's negligence other than the driver's:

  • Defective roads
  • Inadequate bus maintenance
  • Defective automotive parts
