Experienced With Cases Involving Multiple Liable Parties

Because there are several entities involved in school bus operations, you may be able to recover damages from multiple liable parties, including the New York Board of Education, the bus driver and the bus manufacturer.

School bus accidents can cause injuries to children, pedestrians and bystanders, and people in other vehicles. If you or your child was injured in a school bus accident, you may be facing catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, back and spinal injuries, broken bones and other orthopedic injuries. These injuries are often caused by accidents such as:

• A door closing on a child as they enter or exit the bus
• A sudden stop, causing a child to fall
• A collision with another vehicle or stationary object
• Pedestrians dragged by a school bus
• Pedestrians hit by a school bus

We will thoroughly investigate the accident and examine vehicle maintenance and safety records, the condition of the vehicle and the driver’s record. All negligent parties will be held responsible for their part in the accident.
