Determined to Prove What Happened and Pursue Compensation You Deserve
Whether transporting students to or from school or on a special trip, bus drivers and school districts have obligations to exercise all reasonable care and adhere to sound safety principles. Many buses still do not have safety belts — an important topic that often arises after a serious school bus accident — and this consideration can make those obligations especially critical.

- Bus driver negligence such as intoxication, reckless driving or distracted driving
