Fighting for Families Who Have Been Impacted by Negligence

Each school day in the United States, there are approximately 400,000 school buses transporting more than 23 million students to and from school. Sadly, there are thousands of children who are injured every year from a school bus getting into an accident. Even more unfortunate is the fact that most injuries young children incur are extremely serious due to most children not wearing seat belts on a school bus. If you are the parent or guardian to a minor who was injured in a school bus accident, you may bring a lawsuit or contact attorneys on the child’s behalf.

Between 1999 and 2002, there were approximately 320 buses involved in fatal accidents. Of those 320 fatalities, 39% came from school bus accidents. School bus accidents can result in atrocious injuries to passengers, pedestrians, and other automobile drivers. Because of the severity of injuries that can result from a school bus accident, victims and their families can face substantial medical bills. In addition, insurance policies may not cover certain expenses. It’s never fair for your family to go into financial distress because of someone else’s wrongdoing.

Common Responsible Parties

There are many factors to consider in school bus accidents. School buses do not have to have seat belts, so most do not. Poorly designed bus stops often play a role. If the school bus was owned and operated by a public school, you will be suing a government entity. That involves a different set of rules, and a very short time limit for sending your notice of intent to sue.

Depending on the nature of your school bus accident, and the underlying cause, one or more of the following parties may be held responsible:

  • School bus driver
  • School district
  • Private school, church, or other organization which owned and operated the school bus
  • Private company contracted to provide transportation for the school
  • Third party contracted to repair and maintain the bus
  • School bus manufacturer
  • Parts manufacturer
  • Driver of another vehicle
  • Government entity responsible for roadway design, construction, and maintenance
