A tour bus, a school gate, an ambulance. You still start with who was driving, who the vehicle belongs to, what contract the passengers had with the operator, and whether there's an investigation for negligent homicide or for negligence on the job. I'm not retelling how people were hurt, and I'm not convicting anyone off a headline.
What a family may be talking about includes the funeral, the support that person was providing, and money for the loss itself. A passenger may also have a contract claim against whoever was carrying them. Put that next to a claim against someone else and count them apart, so the same thing doesn't get paid twice. Compulsory insurance is still the policy for the person. A loud headline doesn't change the items.
What you can do first
- 01Start with the officer on the case and the compulsory policy. Don't start by crowdsourcing fault.
- 02The operator's contract and insurance go in one stack. The driver's own responsibility goes in another.
- 03If it's still under investigation, let a lawyer see anything you're about to say in public.

Rewritten in my own words. Not a judgment and not a law firm's article. If a number shows up, it belonged to that public discussion, not to you. Check the Judicial Yuan judgment system. These started as public discussions of car crashes. I rewrote them here. Not a law firm's article.
I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
