How do Fairfield County bus accidents happen?

The causes of bus accidents cover a wide range. Federal law prohibits bus drivers from texting behind the wheel. Bus drivers also must undergo mandatory drug and alcohol testing. But despite the law, accidents involving drunk bus drivers or texting bus drivers do happen. Other factors in bus accidents include speeding or ignoring traffic signals and signs.

Some of the most common causes of Fairfield County bus accidents include:

  • Impaired drivers
  • Distracted drivers
  • Reckless drivers
  • Negligent maintenance
  • Defective vehicle parts

Some bus accidents happen through no fault of the bus driver. Other drivers may cause serious bus accidents. In such cases, you may have a claim against the other driver.
