Liability in School Bus Accidents

The most unfortunate part of a wreck like this is the number of people affected since a school bus holds dozens of children. There is much on line. Children injured may face 60+ years of needed medical attention due to disability and other severe injuries occurring in the crash. School bus crashes involving injury and death can be very complicated from a legal perspective. Often times the buses are not even owned by the school district and the drivers may be employees of a third party company. The school district owes a duty of safety to each and every family who places the trust of their children's transportation to them, but they may not be the only party to be held liable.
