Who Is Liable for a Bus Accident in Florida?
We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!
Determining who is responsible for a bus accident in Florida is a critical step toward securing compensation for your injuries. Bus accidents often involve multiple parties, and liability can be complex. At Kaiser Romanello Accident and Injury Attorneys, we’re here to help you identify liable parties and build a strong case. Contact us at 844-877-8679 for a free consultation.
Potential Liable Parties in a Bus Accident
Liability in a Florida bus accident may fall on one or more of the following:
Bus Driver: Negligent actions, such as distracted driving or DUI, can make the driver liable. For instance, in the 2024 Marion County farmworker bus crash, the pickup truck driver faced DUI-manslaughter charges.
Bus Company: Private bus companies may be responsible for poor maintenance, inadequate driver training, or failure to follow safety regulations.
Government Entity: If a public transit bus is involved, the government agency operating the bus may be liable, though sovereign immunity limits recovery to $200,000 per claim unless specific conditions are met.
Other Motorists: Another driver’s negligence, such as running a red light, can contribute to the accident.
Third Parties: Manufacturers (for defective parts) or contractors (for poor road maintenance) may also share liability.
Proving Liability in Florida
Establishing liability requires evidence like police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstruction. Florida’s comparative negligence laws mean that if you’re partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced. An experienced attorney can help gather evidence to prove the other party’s responsibility.
Why Bus Accident Cases Are Complex
Bus accidents often involve multiple stakeholders, from insurance companies to government agencies. For example, public transit buses may have different legal protections than private charters. At Kaiser Romanello, we have the expertise to navigate these complexities, ensuring all liable parties are held accountable.
