School Bus Accident Injuries

Though the statistics for children injured or killed in a school bus accident are considered low as compared to other modes of transportation, there can be many causes leading to a school bus crash or accident involving a school bus. The most commons causes include the following:

  • Inadequate school bus driver training or hiring of unqualified drivers
  • Improperly or negligently maintained school buses
  • Poor weather conditions
  • Speed limit violations
  • School bus driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Distracted school bus driver by use of cell-phone or rowdy passengers
  • Other vehicle drivers’ failure to obey school bus laws, such as:
    • Failure to stop when school bus lights are flashing and red arm is extended
    • Failure to remain stopped until exiting children have reached a place of safety
