School Bus Accidents/Wreck Lawsuits

School buses carry precious cargo, and in most circumstances, provide safe transportation for children to and from school and to many school events. Even though school bus transportation is considered the safest mode to bring children to their school, accidents and negligence can occur that put children at risk. When a school bus wreck or accident seriously injures a child, parents can explore options to seek legal action on behalf of their child to cover injury expenses.

School bus accident lawsuits are complicated, and there are specific laws that restrict suing school districts for school bus accidents. However, that does not mean it is not possible. When a school bus is involved in a crash and students are injured, it is important for the parents of the injured children to determine what legal rights they have and whether the school is responsible. Speaking to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible is advised to begin investigating the crash and whether the school district, driver or other entities may be liable for your child’s injuries.

Serious Injuries from School Bus Accidents

It is not only the children on board a school bus that can be injured in a school accident. Others outside the bus can also be harmed and even lose their lives. In fact, pedestrians, bicyclists and occupants of other vehicles are more likely to be fatally injured than the children on the bus. According to NHTSA statistics on school bus accidents, only 8% of school bus accident fatalities are passengers and 12% are pedestrians or bicyclists. The majority of victims are occupants in other vehicles involved in the accident.

Anyone who is injured in a school bus accident or has a child injured while riding a school bus should seek legal advice. There are time limitations and restrictions to school-liable lawsuits, so do not delay action.

Bruce Millar The Millar Law Firm Atlanta, GA

As an Atlanta Attorney I have known Cale Conley personally for nearly 20 years. I first heard about Cale through other lawyers, who talked about his remarkable skill and great results as a trial attorney. When I finally had the chance to refer a case to Cale and work with him as a colleague, I was blown away by the level of his professionalism, knowledge and skill. Over the past few years I have referred several clients with large and complex cases to Cale and his firm and have been extremely impressed with the results he has obtained! In my opinion, Cale is one of the best Attorneys in the United States. Not just in Atlanta or Georgia, but anywhere. I am totally confident in referring any case or client to him. Not only is he a great attorney, he and his firm and partners take good care of clients and care deeply about them. If I could give Cale and his firm more than 5-Stars I would.

I had the pleasure of trying a very complicated products liability case with Cale Conley and Davis Popper. They and their entire office are fantastic, and I could not recommend them more highly. The entire process, from the time that we brought them in to work with us, through the course of the case and trial, was seamless. Cale, Richard, Rance, and Davis are some of the finest trial lawyers in the Country, and I look forward to working with them on future cases.
