Determining Who Is At Fault

When a bus accident happens, you must first establish what happened and who is at fault. Attorney Olsen and her team will investigate the crash to get all the facts and figure out who caused or contributed to the accident. There are many parties who may have possibly played a role in your bus crash. Here are some examples:

• The Bus driver- Operator error may have been the cause of your crash. The driver may have been distracted or tired, or he/she may have exercised an error in judgement
• The Bus Company- Another possibility is that the company managing the bus may have not provided proper vehicle maintenance or driver training
• The Bus Manufacturer- Defective parts may have been used in the production of the bus
• Another Reckless Driver- It is possible that a reckless or negligent third-party may have caused the bus to veer off the road in some way.

Even if the bus company didn’t have anything to do with the collision, if the bus driver’s negligence caused the crash, then it is possible that the company is the party that is liable. We can assist you in determining the liable party and file against it.
