Liability for North Lindenhurst Bus Accidents

School buses are typically very safe for passengers. But many people are still injured in collisions with these vehicles each year. According to the National Safety Council, “School bus-related crashes killed 128 people nationwide in 2023, up 23% compared to the 104 deaths in 2022, according to National Safety Council (NSC) tabulations of data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).” There are many different causes of bus accidents.

• Distracted driving
• Inclement weather
• Poor road conditions
• Driver fatigue

All drivers must use caution to avoid collisions. To that end, they must maintain a safe speed at all times. There is a presumption of negligence on the part of any driver that goes past a yield sign without yielding. Victims of school bus accidents are protected by a number of laws. They are able to seek some measure of accountability through a personal injury claim. Damages in a civil lawsuit can help cover lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
