In Texas and most other states, bus drivers and bus companies are held to a very high standard of care. Essentially, they have to be "extra careful." This is because they are "common carriers" who typically transport passengers over long distances. This is a higher standard of care than
"negligence," which is the standard in most vehicle accident cases. Further, there are special safety rules that apply to bus drivers and bus companies in the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. If a bus driver or company is not extra careful or violates the federal trucking regulations and causes a crash, they are responsible for the injuries they cause and you may be entitled to compensation.
