Legal Guidance and Advocacy for Injured Drivers, Passengers and Bus Riders
While those most likely to be injured in a school bus accident are the driver and passengers of the other vehicle involved, severe injuries to children on the bus can also occur — especially in situations where the bus rolls over, leaves the road, or collides with a comparably sized vehicle such as an 18-wheeler. Our deep, extensive litigation experience makes our firm an outstanding resource for families coping with the unique, often lifelong considerations associated with catastrophic childhood injuries.
If a school bus accident has caused injuries to you or a family member — or you are grieving a school bus fatality — please request a free consultation with our attorneys as soon as possible.
