Brooklyn School Bus Accident Injures Pedestrian

When determining the fault of any motor vehicle accident you must take into consideration many aspects of the accident. In this case a school bus driver hit a pedestrian in Brooklyn and according to one teens account the pedestrian seemed to be injured quite severely.

According to the statement that the bus driver made he states that he didn't see the woman.  While we can assume by his statement that he didn't intentionally run over the woman rather he hit the pedestrian without being aware she was there.  Based on the information reported in this article there is not enough information to determine the full extent of the situation.  Was the woman in the bus driver's blind spot, was the school bus driver distracted by something such as talking to the people on the school bus looking at a phone or anything else that could be distracting? The report does not mention any of this but it is crutial in figuring out why he did not see the pedestrian.

If it is determined that the school bus driver is at fault the pedestrian wiho was injured will be able to seek compensation from the school bus driver or the school bus driver's insurance company.
