Options for Parents of Children Injured in School Bus Crashes

For parents, the most important thing following a school bus accident is their children’s health and wellbeing. School bus crashes can result in catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBI), as well as death.

In such cases, parents may be able to bring those responsible for the wreck and their child’s injuries justice through a personal injury lawsuit. Those who can be held accountable for a school bus accident can include the school, the bus driver, other motorists at fault and the school district.
