Your Injury and Disability Lawyers
Sending a child to school on a bus can be a nerve-wracking experience for a parent. You trust that the route will go smoothly and the children will be delivered to school safely. However, that doesn't always happen. When the worst happens, reach out to the Bus Accident Lawyers at Daggett Shuler to get the care and justice you deserve.
Riding the bus, while a reliable and convenient method of transportation, carries the same risk as with any other motor vehicle. In fact, a recent study showed that on average more than 15,000 people suffer injuries from bus-related accidents in the U.S. annually. And in 2017, there were 519 crashes in North Carolina involving commercial buses, and 155 involving other buses.
Before contacting your insurance company, call the experienced bus accident lawyers at Daggett Shuler. When you are dealing with the stress, pain, and financial burden associated with an accident, it can be difficult to make tough decisions about your case. The effects of your injuries can often be long-lasting or even permanent. That’s why it is critical that you get full and fair compensation.

Every parent’s chief concern is the safety and well-being of their children. Although we take every measure to ensure their safety, we can’t be there to protect them at all times. With more than 25 million children taking the bus to school each year, the odds of a school bus-related injury are unfortunately higher than zero. In 2020, 4,800 individuals were injured in school bus accidents, and 25 percent of these injuries were school bus passengers
Many of these accidents don’t actually occur on the bus, but rather when a child is waiting for the bus, getting on the bus, or getting off of the bus. In fact, the National Safety Council reports that in 2020, only about 5 percent of deaths in school bus-related crashes involved passengers.
Adding to the risk of injury is the fact that most standard school buses are not equipped with seat belts or restraint systems. This increases the likelihood of harm should a child fall out of their seat.
Most school bus accidents are preventable, and can often be attributed to driver error and poor vehicle maintenance. These accidents can result in injuries that have long-lasting effects on a child, often requiring long-term treatment or rehabilitation.
