School Bus Accidents & Safety

Providing nearly nine million student trips each year, school buses are the largest type of mass transit in the United States. There are approximately half a million school buses that transport 24 million students to and from school each school day.

According to official school bus accident statistics, since 1990, there have been 1,450 fatalities as a result of school bus related accidents. Of these fatal accident victims, 67 percent were occupants of other vehicles involved in the accident, 25 percent were pedestrians or cyclists, and nine percent were passengers in school buses.

School buses are a fairly safe method of transportation for children, as bus accident statistics reveal. In 2003, no child was killed in a school bus related crash in 45 states. Usually when school children are injured or killed in a school bus accident the circumstances were severe and at times unavoidable.

If your child was injured or killed in a school bus accident, you may be eligible to seek compensation for your loss. You may want to speak with an attorney who can advise you of your legal rights in a school bus accident case. Our experienced attorneys will provide free consultation and investigate your claim to seek any compensation you are entitled.
