Legal Liability – Negligence On The Road

Legal liability relating to negligent road accidents, in particular accidents caused by "brake-failing" buses and the like is my subject in this article.

Certainly, the spate of recent well-publicised bus accidents on Patong Hill alone are a cause for serious concern and discussion in the whole of the Phuket community.

However, this serious, potentially life-threatening, issue does not seem to be limited solely to Patong Hill, or even Phuket for that matter.

As I write this article, I have read that yet again an inter-provincial bus located out of Ubon Ratchatani has slammed into a truck stopped in the middle of the road, causing yet another death and at least a dozen more injuries in Nakhon Rachasima. The bus is ostensibly owned by a 'tour' company, according to the report.
