Driver’s Duty of Care

Bus drivers and bus companies have a responsibility to their passengers that extends not only from a professional standpoint, but a legal one as well. Buses are considered a common carrier. Common carriers are companies, public services (city or school buses), or even an individual who is in the business of transporting people to and from their destination. This also includes the transportation of freight.

Common carriers owe their passengers safe passage to their preferred destination. They have the duty to protect their passengers as well as the other vehicles that share the road with them.

Many times, proving the liability of a common carrier may be easier than proving a case against a private one. Unfortunately, bus drivers do not always uphold the standards of the industry and some have been known to drive recklessly, or are lacking the training needed to safely complete their job. Given the large scale of most buses, a bus accident can lead to severe injuries to anyone involved.
