Who was Liable - Bus accident in Sunrise
Another blog that was an interesting read was on an accident that involved a bus and a distracted driver of a delivery truck which took place in Sunrise.
The police report stated that the driver of the delivery truck was not paying attention and hit the Broward Transit bus from behind when it stopped to pickup/ drop off passengers. This accident occurred at the corner of Sunrise Blvd and NW 56th Avenue, in Lauderhill.
After investigations by the Police/ the Broward Transit authorities and the company that owns the delivery truck it was evident that the driver of the deliver truck was at fault. Although as I stated in the blog that this could have gone against the driver of the bus which would have then made Broward Transit Authority liable for all the damages of the passengers that received injury.
But, as I stated earlier the driver of the delivery truck was found to be negligent therefore making him and his employer liable for the injuries and damages of the passengers who was on board the bus at the time of the accident.
