Bus Accidents, College Station Injury Attorney
Over 23 million school-age children ride school buses each day in the U.S. It is therefore not surprising that school bus-related accidents send 17,000 children to emergency rooms each year. Only 42% of school bus-related injuries are sustained in crashes, however. In fact, the majority of school bus injuries occur when children are boarding or exiting the school bus. Children may slip and fall while getting on or off the bus, passing motorists may fail to stop and hit children coming off the bus, or the bus driver may run a child over. In fact, it is estimated that two-thirds of all children killed while boarding or exiting a school bus are hit by the bus itself - not by another vehicle. Although most of school bus-related injuries are minor, school bus accidents can result in serious, catastrophic injuries or even death. If your child has been injured in a school bus accident, whatever the cause, you should seek the advice of an experienced College Station bus accident lawyer.
