In most cases, a Tennessee bus accident can be prevented by driving lawfully and safely for the current conditions of the road. Even in harsh weather, a driver should be able to operate a bus safely by making turns more carefully, altering speed, and/or travel routes. If a bus driver does not drive lawfully and safely, then the bus driver, as well as his or her employer, may be held liable for the injuries and/or fatalities caused in an accident. Transportation departments or other state agencies and bus equipment manufacturers may also be held liable if the accident was caused by hazardous roadways or defective parts or equipment.
