What is a Common Carrier?

Buses are usually considered common carriers in the law. This title means that bus drivers are held to a higher standard of care than a typical motorist.

Bus drivers might not be the only party liable for a crash, too. In some cases, maintenance companies or part manufacturers can also be liable, as well as the parent bus company that hired the driver or prepared their route. Under the theory of respondeat superior, our Frederick bus accident attorneys can attempt to hold the bus company accountable for the mistakes of their employee, which can open a good opportunity to get more damages than if you had to sue the bus driver only.
