Idaho: School Bus Accident Legal Issues

Idaho school bus accident claims can often be complicated to both prove and pursue. Early in the case it is important for your school bus accident lawyer to identify certain parties, such as the owner of the bus, the company that operates it, and the company responsible for making repairs and maintaining the bus. If any of these parties acted negligently, you may be able to make a claim against them for damages and injuries sustained in the school bus accident. Some of the parties that you may be able to file a claim against include:

School Districts and School Boards - The school board may be responsible for the negligent conduct of the bus drivers it employees in the event of a school bus crash. Additionally, a school board that fails to implement or enforce adequate school bus safety standards may leave children vulnerable to injury from a school bus accident. The school board may be liable to any injured victims of a school bus crash that could have been prevented through the creation and enforcement of reasonable safety guidelines.

School Bus Company - A school bus accident may occur because the bus company sends a defective school bus out on the road with faulty brakes or overused tires. If the bus company hires unqualified school bus drivers, unqualified maintenance people and other personnel, or negligently trains or supervises these employees, the bus company may be responsible for injuries and damages incurred as a result of the accident. In addition, the school bus company may be found at fault for a school bus crash caused by its failure to create or enforce adequate safety procedures.

School Bus Maintenance Companies - If an independent company is responsible for ensuring that the school buses are in a safe mechanical condition, that company may be sued if negligent maintenance practices caused a school bus crash or accident.

Manufacturers of the School Bus and/or its Parts - If a school bus manufacturer sends a defective bus from the factory to the marketplace, it subjects bus passengers to unreasonable danger and potential harm resulting from bus accidents. As a result, the school bus manufacturer can be held responsible for damages when a bus crash occurs. Likewise, the manufacturers and retailers of defective school bus parts may be liable for injuries to the bus passengers in the event of a school bus accident.

Drivers of Other Vehicles- Owners and drivers of other cars, trucks and other vehicles may be held responsible for school bus accident injuries caused by negligent or reckless driving.
