Who Can Be Held Liable for a Bus Accident in Cleburne, TX?
Several parties may potentially be held liable for a bus accident in Cleburne. Responsibility may fall on the bus driver, another motorist, the company operating the bus, or another party whose actions contributed to the collision. The facts determine who may be legally responsible.
To determine who was responsible, investigators may examine how each vehicle was being operated before the crash. Speeding, distraction, unsafe following distance, or another careless driving decision may point to negligence. More than one driver may share responsibility.
When a bus driver is working, the employer may be responsible for negligent conduct within the scope of employment. The driver’s duties and relationship with the bus operator can matter, while company policies and vehicle maintenance may raise liability questions.
If several parties contributed, Texas uses a modified comparative responsibility rule. A claimant generally cannot recover damages when assigned more than 50 percent of the responsibility. An allowed recovery is reduced according to the claimant’s percentage of fault.
For publicly operated buses, additional requirements may apply when a city, county, school district, or other governmental entity is involved. Texas law generally requires notice of a claim within six months. Other applicable notice provisions can make acting promptly particularly important.
As the claim moves forward, a car accident lawyer can gather photographs, video footage, witness statements, crash reports, vehicle records, and electronic data. An attorney can use this evidence to determine how the collision occurred, identify responsible parties, and protect your rights.
