- Bus drivers must exercise "extraordinary care" to avoid accidents.
- Bus companies are usually liable for their drivers' actions.
- Potential defendants include the driver, bus company, maintenance company, or manufacturer.
- Proving negligence is crucial for recovering damages.
- Alabama's strict contributory negligence law may prevent recovery if you're partially at fault.
