Verdicts, Judgments & Settlements for Our Clients

More than 23.5 million elementary and secondary school children ride school buses daily throughout the United States.  Many of these school buses do not have restraint systems or seatbelts.  12,000 of these children are injured each year in school bus accidents.  Although the majority of the injuries are minor, some are catastrophic and as many as 11 children a year die as a result of school bus accidents.

Bus accidents and school bus accidents often result in serious injuries or death.  Bus accidents can be caused by such contributing factors as driver negligence, inadequate security, dangerous roadways, weather conditions, defective products and improper maintenance, among others.

We do not feel it could get any better.  We were never treated as a bother (and we were!)  The best at a very difficult time.  Kathleen and the girls caught the brunt of it from most everyone.  If it were not for you all I'd probably break either mentally or physically.  Again, thanks so much.  You are the best ever!   Bob & Barbara K. - Tucker, Georgia

If you have been injured as the result of a bus accident either as a passenger, pedestrian or driver, you may be able to file a legitimate claim against the bus company.  If you were a passenger on a bus that was involved in an accident, the bus company, whether public or private, owes you the "utmost duty of care" associated with being a common carrier.  This “duty of utmost care” is higher than the negligence duty owed by the bus company to drivers of other vehicles and pedestrians.

If you have been seriously injured or a loved one has died in an accident involving a bus or school bus, you need the advice of an experienced bus accident lawyer.  Claims for damages against a public or governmental entity are complex and have strict time limitations.  The laws are intricate and vary greatly depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident.
