School Bus Accidents
Definition:
With approximately nine million students a year, school buses are a major mode of transportation. School bus accidents may occur from a collision with another vehicle, objects such as buildings and trees, or from running off the road. School bus accidents can cause serious personal injuries to the driver and passengers, pedestrians or other vehicles. Causes for school bus accidents include driver's negligence, engine failure, hazardous road conditions and actions of other drivers on the road.
Consequences of School Bus Accidents:
School bus accident injuries most often occur when a school bus collides with another vehicle or when children get on or off a bus. Since most school buses do not have safety belts installed, children become vulnerable to injuries when they fall off their seats during collisions, sharp turns or when bus drivers make sudden stops. School bus accidents can result in serious personal injuries such as friction burns, broken bones, head trauma, coma and even death.What a Lawyer can do for you:
