The Causes of School Bus Accidents

School districts and cities are expected to hire safe school bus drivers with little or no traffic violations on their record. Similarly, bus drivers are expected to drive safely and keep children and other passengers safe. But this does not always happen. Sudden stops and turns can throw children from their seats, resulting in lacerations, bruises and broken bones. Allowing kids to move around while the bus is moving is also a main contributor to school bus injuries.

Other causes of injuries and wrongful death include:

• Failure to stop at a railroad crossing
• Driving too fast for weather conditions
• Failure to put out the stop sign that warns other drivers of children getting in or out of the bus
• Defective brakes, security signals and other parts
• Driving while tired or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Overloading the bus past recommended capacity

At MyPhillyLawyer, we are skilled at handling accident injury cases. We thoroughly review the bus accident and consult accident reconstruction experts to determine who is at fault. We then gather medical reports, witness testimony and other evidence to build a strong and effective case designed to collect the damages your injured child deserves.
