School Bus Accident Lawsuit | Get the Right Lawyer

Sadly, thousands of children are injured every year in school bus accidents. Often these injuries are very serious, as children do not wear seat belts on most school buses. When a child is hurt, parents or guardians of a minor under the age of 18 can bring a claim or lawsuit on the child's behalf.

What’s the problem?

Each school day in the United States, there are an estimated 450,000 school buses transporting more than 23.5 million students to and from school. Due to the involvement of young children, school bus accidents are among the most tragic of all motor vehicle accidents.

Between 1999 and 2002, there were approximately 325 buses involved in fatal accidents. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, 19,000 people were injured in bus accidents in 2002. California, New York, and Florida had the highest number of bus accidents. School buses accounted for 39 percent of the fatalities and municipal buses were responsible for 37 percent. Other vehicle drivers made up 58 percent of the fatalities and non-motorists (pedestrian and bicyclists) made up 27 percent.
