Bus drivers are responsible for staying alert while driving and for taking a high level of precaution as they drive. They are also responsible for ensuring that the bus is being taken care of (that they are not operating it while serious repairs or maintenance have not been performed) and that the passengers are able to enter and exit the vehicle safely.
In Texas, commercial bus companies provide insurance policies that cover a minimum of $5 million per accident for buses with the capacity for 26 or more passengers. Smaller buses with a capacity of 15-26 hold insurance policies that cover at least $500,000.

This total amount will be divided among all injured parties in an accident, so depending on the number of passengers involved, you may need a lawyer to employ an aggressive strategy that will help ensure you receive the share you deserve.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in an accident involving a commercial or charter bus, do not hesitate to begin the process of filing a claim for compensation. The sooner you act, the better.
