More and more commuters use rapid transit and public transportation each year. Correspondingly, the number of injuries and deaths resulting from bus accidents is rising. Approximately 23.5 million school children in the United States ride school buses each day. Many of those buses do not have restraint systems or seatbelts. Approximately 12,000 school children are injured each year in school bus accidents. Although the majority of the school bus accident injuries are minor, some are catastrophic. Bus and school bus accidents can be the result of many factors, such as driver negligence, inadequate security, dangerous roadways, weather conditions, negligence, defective products and improper maintenance.

If a bus or school bus accident resulted in injury to you or a loved one, you may be able to file a claim against the bus company to recover for your damages.
