Common Carrier Laws in Bus Accidents
San Diego bus accidents are based on something known as common carrier laws, which apply to buses all throughout California. What is a common carrier? This is a mode of transportation that is responsible for carrying people from one place to another, for a fee. Common carrier laws apply to not just buses but many types of vehicles, like taxis, trains, cable cars, ferries, planes, and more. If you have ever ridden with a service that took you from point A to point B for a fee, then you have utilized the services of a common carrier. Drivers of common carrier vehicles are expected to utilize the utmost of care in cases to protect those who use their services. If a driver fails to provide the highest duty of care to you even though you have utilized their services, they could be guilty of negligence and owe you compensation.
