Can You Sue a Bus Company for a Driver’s Negligence?
In many cases, you can sue a bus company if one of its drivers caused your injury through negligence. Under the legal principle of vicarious liability, employers can be held responsible for the actions of their employees while they are performing their job duties. This includes commercial bus companies, school districts, and public transit agencies operating in Oregon.
If a driver was speeding, distracted, or otherwise careless, and you were injured as a result, whether as a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver, you may have grounds for a claim against the company itself. These claims often require a thorough investigation into company policies, driver training, vehicle maintenance, and compliance with safety regulations.
