School Bus Injuries
When parents see their children off to school each morning, the last thing they often consider is that their children may be in danger when boarding a school bus. Students depend on school buses to safely transport them to and from class, and school bus drivers should be experienced, have adequate training, and should be cautious when operating the large vehicle at all times.
School bus accidents may result in injuries or death to the driver, passengers, and other individuals involved. If you or a loved one has been injured in a school bus accident, contact the Madison personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at 800-242-2874.
Causes of School-Bus Injuries
Common school bus injuries often include:
- Whiplash due to sudden stops and starts
- Trauma injuries sustained during stops
- Injuries from falls while boarding and exiting the bus
- Head trauma sustained during collisions
- Broken bones and other bodily harm sustained during collisions
- Trauma sustained from roll-over accidents
- Injuries caused by collisions with other passengers
School buses typically do not have many of the safety features found in passenger and commuter vehicles, including seat belts, air-bags, and other passenger restraint devices. If a school bus is involved in a collision, injuries to the passengers may be more severe than in other vehicles.
