According to data published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA), each year 18 school-age occupants and pedestrians lose their lives in school transportation-related motor vehicle accidents every year. For the purposes of its report, a “school transportation-related crash” directly or indirectly involves a school bus or non-school bus being used as a school bus. These accidents can cause serious injuries to the people involved, including:
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injury
- Cuts or lacerations
- Burns
- Disfigurement
These are just some of the types of injuries that may result from a school bus-related crash, and fortunately for victims, the law allows people injured through another’s negligence to recover through a personal injury lawsuit. A personal injury attorney may be able to help you recover compensation for any medical bills, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, or loss of future earnings that you or your child may have suffered.
