Tour Bus Accidents
Tour bus operators and drivers tend to be held to a higher standard, legally speaking, than do other drivers because they are responsible for the safety of so many passengers. Many tour buses do not come with seat belts or other restraining devices. Thus, passengers on these vehicles may be at elevated risk for certain kinds of injuries. Tour bus drivers also face numerous sources of distraction, including questions from passengers and monologues from tour guides.
Tours on dangerous roads
Certain guided tours may take passengers to dangerous locations, such as highways circumnavigating a mountain or other precarious posts with steep inclines. As a result, tour buses may be put into situations that could lead to rollovers or falls (e.g. a bus going over a guardrail). Moreover, buses that take tourists up narrow, steep and windy roads may have to navigate around other vehicles in the area, and these interactions can lead to collisions with monstrous outcomes due to the precarious state of the road.
What can you do if you or someone you love has been hurt in a tour bus accident?
A variety of parties might be liable for your medical bills, lost wages, and even punitive damages. These liable parties could include:
- Driver of the tour bus
- Tour company (for sending group into a dangerous area or into inclement weather)
- Tour group's insurance company
- Driver who hit the tour bus or caused an accident with the tour bus
- Governmental body responsible for maintaining safe road conditions
