Responsible Parties
Under Nevada law, there are numerous parties that may be held responsible for injuries that you’ve suffered in a bus accident. In the United States, every motor vehicle owner and operator has a “duty of care” to ensure that vehicles are safe to be on the road and carefully operated. If a bus driver or bus owner fails to fulfill this duty, they will be liable for the resulting damages and injuries.
- A bus driver may be held responsible if the accident was caused by driver error or negligence such as driving under the influence, driver fatigue, or traffic violations.
- A bus company may be held accountable for an accident if it was caused by improper vehicle maintenance, mechanical failure, or inexperienced or poorly trained drivers.
- A city or state agency may be held liable if the vehicle is owned or operated by a city, county or state government agency such as a RTC bus. Claims against government agencies may be subject to additional rules and a shorter statute of limitations during which a claim can be filed.
