    Common Causes of Bus Accidents

    In Las Vegas, bus accidents can occur due to various reasons. More than half of the time, negligence is usually a huge contributing factor. Some common causes of bus accidents in this part of Nevada include:

    • Driver fatigue or distraction.
    • Failure to adhere to traffic laws.
    • Inadequate training or qualifications of bus drivers.
    • Poor maintenance of buses.
    • Negligent hiring practices by bus companies.
    • Negligent supervision or management of drivers by bus companies.
    • Overloading or improper loading of passengers or cargo.
    • Defective bus equipment or parts.
    • Unsafe road conditions or hazards not properly addressed by authorities.

    Who Can Be Liable for a Bus Accident?

    When it comes to determining liability for a bus accident, it all boils down to the issue of fault. That’s one of the things attorneys can help you determine. In the past, bus accident claims have been filed against:

    • The bus driver.
    • Bus company or operator. 
    • Bus manufacturer or maintenance provider. 
    • Government entities.
    • Other motorists.  
    • Contractors or subcontractors involved in bus maintenance or repair. 

    What Damages Am I Entitled To?

    Nevada is an “at-fault” state. What this means is that the party responsible for the accident pays for the damages the other party incurred. For this reason, the injured are usually allowed to pursue maximum compensation for their injuries and losses.

    In that case, you may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. These include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent disfigurement, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and more.
