What Injuries Did You Experience?

The types of injuries you were diagnosed with will have an impact on the amount of compensation you are awarded. It is not necessarily the type of injury you were diagnosed with so much as how your injuries have affected your life. Examples of injuries include:

Who’s At Fault in a Bus Accident?

The type of bus accident you were involved in, how the accident occurred, and other factors can all have an impact on who is to blame.

Generally, bus drivers who operate their buses in an unsafe manner can be held accountable. Not only can the bus driver be held accountable, but the bus company who employs them as well. School districts, public transportation agencies, and government or business agencies can all be held accountable for the actions of their bus drivers.

In instances where bus parts may have malfunctioned or were defective, bus maintenance workers, safety inspectors, the owner of the bus, and the bus company could be responsible if the bus has not been serviced as it should have been.

    What to Do if Your Kid is Injured in a School Bus Accident?

    If your child has been injured in a school bus accident, the steps you take to help them obtain compensation may not always be clear. Fortunately, as soon as you have a local bus accident attorney on your side, you can focus on getting your child the medical help they need while we work on the legal details of your bus accident claim.

    School bus injuries are more common than you might think. If the school bus driver was not operating the bus safely, not only can they be forced to compensate your child for their damages, but the school district that employs the bus driver may also be liable. We will be prepared to negotiate with the school district unless or until we are forced to bring your case to court.
