| What is the fault ratio?
A friend of mine was killed in an accident involving her car and a school bus. I'm trying to figure out if the bus driver can be held accountable for anything? Here is the situation: my friend was on her way home from working 3rd shift, for a reason unknown she crossed the center line and hit a school bus. In the police report the bus driver stated that he didn't see her car until it was too late because he momentarily looked away from the road, so can he be held partialy responsible? The bus driver stated that he was traveling at a speed of 25 and my friends exact speed is unknown, but believed to be at about 45-50. The speed limit for this area is 45. This bus driver also has a bad reputation with the kids on his bus for being a rough driver, I personally had an encounter with him where he nearly rear ended me with the bus. This bus driver , for only going 25, as he states, ran his flat nose, engine in the front bus, right up onto my friend's car, crushing her to death. Witnesses say that my friend tried at the last second to get back to her own side, she turned her wheels sharp, but didn't make it. He hit her in the front driver's side of the car. This happened in Pennsylvania.
