A bus accident may occur for any of a number of reasons, most often stemming from driver negligence on the part of the bus driver or another motorist on the road. Talking on the phone, adjusting the radio, eating or drinking may all cause a driver to cause an accident, as may drunk driving or an inexperienced bus operator. Even an improperly loaded bus or equipment malfunction may lead to a serious bus accident.
