What Causes Ontario Bus Accidents?
Buses in California are subject to special laws as “common carriers.” This includes a responsibility by bus operators to exercise the “utmost care and diligence,” as well as a “reasonable degree of skill” to ensure passenger safety (California Civil Code § 2100). This is higher than the average duty of care placed on typical motor vehicle drivers.
Unfortunately, bus drivers in Ontario do not always meet these standards of care. Bus accidents can be caused by mistakes such as speeding, breaking traffic laws, running red lights and stop signs, driving while impaired, driving fatigued, and texting while driving (distracted driving). Bus companies can contribute to dangerous driver behaviors by failing to properly vet and train new hires.
Another frequent issue involved in bus accidents is poor maintenance. A lack of proper bus fleet maintenance by the owner of the bus can result in dangerous mechanical failures, such as brake failure or tire blowouts, that cause serious collisions. The owner of the vehicle – such as a school, private company or the city government – could be held liable for these accidents.
