Seven months ago Tara Nguyen was injured in an automobile-bus collision. The bus, in which Nguyen was a passenger, was hit broadside by a car entering the intersection at the green light. The bus, which was six months old, was owned and operated by Johnson Bus Company. Tara discovers that the employee operating the vehicle previously caused a similar accident and has received multiple driving infractions. Nguyen has requested that your firm represent her in a personal injury lawsuit for the injuries she sustained in the accident. Your attorney requested that you do some preliminary research to determine whether this lawsuit should be accepted.

Is this a strong case for negligence and negligent entrustment against Johnson Bus Company? Do we advise this client that, on the basis of our review of the applicable law, this is a case we will take or one that we will turn down? Is it too late to file the case if we are in Massachusetts?
