You may have grounds for an injury lawsuit against the school, allowing you to seek justice for your child's injuries while recovering financial compensation that will help with medical care and ongoing expenses. Talk to a school bus accident lawyer to learn more.

Why school bus accidents happen

School bus accidents happen for many different reasons. Some of the most common causes of school bus accidents include:

A distracted bus driver
A bus driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol
A bus driver falling asleep at the wheel
A poorly maintained school bus
Speeding

The most common type of school bus accident is a rear-end collision with another vehicle. But school buses can also be involved in other types of crashes, including hitting pedestrians.

Whatever the cause of your school bus accident, it's important to speak with a lawyer right away. Such cases often turn out to be far more complicated than many people might realize.
