Tampa School Bus Accident & Injury Lawyer

Each year, millions of children rely upon taking the bus to get to school.  School bus companies and school bus drivers are responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of these children every single day. When school bus companies and drivers do not place the children’s safety first, and act in a negligent manner, they endanger the lives of the children and place them at risk for being injured. 

Aside from placing the lives of children at risk, school bus companies and drivers who behave negligently also place other motor vehicle drivers’ and pedestrians’ lives at risk, too.  These are people that school buses must share the roads with on a daily basis.  If busing companies and drivers are not careful, a lethal accident can occur, and for a variety of reasons. 

Bus Accident Statistics

• According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, 19,000 people were injured in bus accidents in 2002 in the United States.
• Most school buses are not quipped with seat belts, which places passengers at great risk.
• Every year, approximately 450,000 school buses transport children in primary and secondary schools in the U.S., and are responsible for transporting approximately 23.5 million children.
