Identifying the Liable Party Is Often Difficult in SC Bus Accident Cases

Who we try to hold liable and the process we must navigate to pursue compensation in a bus accident case depends greatly on who owns and operates the bus. These liable parties could include:

• A government agency, as is the case with The COMET buses that serve the Midlands
• A public school system, including Lexington County School District No. 2
• A private school
• A private company or individual

When the bus belongs to a public transportation system or a public school, special rules apply. These rules come from the South Carolina Tort Claims Act (SCTA). They require us to act quickly after an accident and follow a very specific protocol to hold the government agency liable for your injuries and other damages.
