Bus Crash in Arizona Kills 7

We are extremely saddened over the great loss of life caused by an accident involving a tour bus traveling north to Las Vegas. Seven Chinese nationals on the bus were killed and at least ten others were injured.

The bus rolled over, ejecting passengers after the driver overcorrected and hit a gravel median. Others were injured when their cars crashed trying to avoid the bus.
This was a terrible tragedy and our thoughts are with those who are trying to recover from injuries suffered due to this accident and, of course, with all of those who lost loved ones.

Under Arizona law, all drivers have a responsibility to drive with safety, to avoid causing injuries to those within their vehicles and others lawfully on the public roadway. This responsibility is referred to as a “legal duty”. When a driver causes an accident, they are said to have breached their legal duty to the injured. Under Arizona law, when a person or company transports persons for a fee, they are called a “common carrier”, and the law ascribes to them the highest type of duty (i.e. they have to be the most careful). Under Arizona law, a person is legally and financially responsible for damages they cause. In addition, if they are working for another at the time, then their employer is also legally and financially responsible for the injuries and damages of the injured party.
