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.

school bus on the road

What happens if a school bus was involved?

Every parentโ€™s chief concern is the safety and well-being of their children. Although we take every measure to ensure their safety, we canโ€™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 donโ€™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, theย National Safety Councilย 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.

Common contributing factors of school bus accidents

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.

  • Distracted school bus drivers
  • Objects in the road
  • Flying debris
  • Inclement weather
  • Poor bus maintenance
  • Poor driving skills
  • Lack of adequate driver training

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workersโ€™ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.
