The family of a Farmingdale student involved in last week’s fatal bus rollover in Orange County has filed the first lawsuit against the bus company and driver.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the Supreme Court of Orange County on behalf of Lawrence Doreson of Massapequa and his 14-year-old daughter, accuses Regency Transportation and bus driver Lisa Schaffer of “failing to properly keep, control and maintain the motor vehicle so as to prevent the incident herein.”
An exact cause for the crash is still under investigation, but attorneys say the cause was either mechanical or human error.
