Protecting Your Child’s Rights After a Serious Incident
For parents, putting a child on the school bus each morning comes with the expectation of safety. But when a school bus accident happens—whether caused by a negligent driver, poor bus maintenance, or unsafe road conditions—the consequences can be devastating.
At Buckeye Law Group, we know that school bus accident cases are especially complex because they often involve multiple parties, including school districts, bus companies, and other drivers.
Common Causes of School Bus Accidents
Some of the leading causes include:
- Distracted or reckless driving by the bus driver
- Negligence by other motorists failing to stop for the bus
- Poor maintenance or defective parts
- Hazardous weather or road conditions
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Depending on the facts, potential liable parties may include:
- The school district or private bus company
- The bus driver
- Another negligent driver
- Manufacturers of defective bus parts
Injuries Can Be More Serious for Children
Children are more vulnerable to injuries in a crash, and even minor incidents can result in serious physical or emotional trauma. Injuries may include concussions, broken bones, spinal injuries, and lasting psychological effects.
Taking Action Quickly Is Key
Claims involving school districts or government entities often have shorter deadlines than other personal injury cases. Missing these deadlines can mean losing your right to recover compensation.
Our legal team works quickly to investigate the accident, preserve evidence, and fight for the full compensation your child deserves.
