Help For Injured Victims Of Bus Accidents

There are fewer than 300 fatal bus accidents a year in the U.S., on average, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This means that, while many personal injury lawyers are experienced in handling car and truck accident cases, only few have significant experience in handling bus accident cases.

Choose A Lawyer With Experience Handing Bus Accident Claims

Bus accident cases can involve legal complexities and questions that car accidents don’t. For instance:

  • Are buses required to be equipped with seat belts and, if not, should they be?
  • Who is the defendant when a bus accident involves a vehicle owned by the government or school district?
  • What is the statute of limitation in different kinds of bus accidents?
  • Can a busing company be held liable when a bus is poorly maintained or the hired driver has a history of moving violations, criminal activity or substance abuse?

School Bus Accidents

When you send your children to school, you may worry about many things. You may worry about how they will get along with their classmates, how they will do in their studies and how they will be treated by their teachers. For most parents, however, the thought of their children being injured in an auto accident is not something they consider.

Tragically, however, many children are injured in auto accidents — bus accidents to be precise. Moreover, since children on a school bus do not wear seat belts, they may be at a higher risk of being thrown in an accident, which may result in severe or even fatal injuries.

If your child has been injured in a bus accident, schedule a free consultation with us. Even injuries that seem minor at the time of an accident can be more serious than originally anticipated. Our attorneys have experience handling school bus accident claims where the defendant may be a negligent bus company or a negligent driver.
