School Bus Accidents Resource Center

School Bus Accidents, while not common, do result in hundreds of injuries and deaths every year and are particularly tragic because most of the victims are children. Both school bus passengers and those entering, exiting, or waiting for school buses have been injured in School Bus Accidents. The causes of School Bus Accidents include negligent driving, mechanical problems, and driver fatigue and inexperience. School Bus Accident victims may suffer from a wide range of injuries including serious friction burns, fractures, cuts and bruising, internal injuries, head injuries, emotional trauma, and death. Older school buses are especially prone to mechanical failures that can result in devstating accidents and critical injuries. In addition, many older school buses lack seat belts and safety restraints for children, increasing the severity of injuries suffered during an accident or collision.  If you or a loved one has been involved in a School Bus Accident, you may be entitled to compensation for injuries, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
