Understanding Bus Accidents in Oregon
Fortunately, bus wrecks are relatively infrequent, but their potential for serious consequences cannot be underestimated. Causes range from driver errors and adverse weather conditions to mechanical issues and the actions of other drivers on the road. Thorough investigations are vital to establishing liability, often involving multiple parties such as bus drivers, maintenance contractors, and entities operating different types of buses.
Common Causes of Bus Accidents
- Driver Error (Distracted Driving, Speeding, Fatigue)
- Adverse Weather Conditions (Rain, Snow, Sleet, Hail, Ice, Storms)
- Mechanical Issues (Brake, Tire, or Shocks Problems)
- Other Drivers (Reckless Driving, Distracted Driving, Failure to Yield)
- Rollover Accidents
