Filing a Case

Our site has detailed just a few of the risks children may face while riding a school bus or a school-related transportation vehicle, and parents face just as many challenges while pursuing justice and compensation for their injured child. Among these challenges:

  • Depending on the state where the school bus accident occurred, a school district may have “sovereign immunity” against lawsuits unless the district purchased motor vehicle insurance providing coverage, or if the driver or school district are found to be guilty of gross negligence or willful disregard for the safety of others. In this case, a thorough independent investigation would be required to determine the best legal options available for compensation.
  • Many school districts contract with private, independent companies to provide transportation to and from school, and are generally held to a higher standard of care. In this case, the company may be liable for negligent hiring, training or operation of a school bus.
  • Independent companies responsible for the maintenance of the school bus, manufacturers of the school bus, or a supplier of parts for the school bus may be found to be individually or collectivelyliable for the school bus accident. In this case, a product liability action may be required.
  • If another passenger vehicle is at fault, that driver could be held liable. Or if a commercial vehicle is found to be at fault, both the driver and the employer could be held liable.
