Bus Accidents

If you’ve gone from sitting comfortably in your bus seat to a sudden stop or worse that has you thrown down and landing in the aisle with pain and injury, you need to act now and get an attorney to make sure you are protected. Bus accidents aren’t common but when they do the impact can be severe, especially in school bus accidents where children are involved.

School buses are one of the most common bus uses and according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there are approximately 450,000 school buses in action every school day providing transportation to over 25 million students. This volume creates plenty of opportunity for an accident to happen.

Typical accident causes can be due to driver negligence, poor weather conditions, maintenance or equipment issues and can be devastating, especially when children are affected. Injuries can include broken bones, skull and spinal cord damage, lacerations, amputations and in some cases fatality. If you find yourself in a bus accident first get to safety with your loved ones if you can and call 911 or ask someone to do this. Getting medical support to the site is likely to be essential as while infrequent, bus accidents do tend to be severe and are not to be underestimated, especially if a school bus with children involved in the accident.
