A school bus driver crashes into a truck. The bus company then fails to perform the required safety checks and the brakes failed when needed. A automobile motorist passes a school bus when the stop flag was out, hits a student and causes a fatal injury. A child who requires special needs is unsupervised, falls, and is terribly hurt.  Who will be held responsible for these tragic accidents? 

Attorneys at our Garden City, New York, personal injury firm, the Law Offices of Louis D. Stober, Jr., L.L.C., are prepared to hold those responsible for school bus accidents accountable for the losses suffered by students, bus company employees, and other injured parties.

When handling a school bus accident claim, our attorneys begin by identifying the possible causes that may have contributed to the accident. The attorneys look for factors such as driving error, negligent maintenance on the part of the bus company, the school districts failure to provide adequate supervision for the children with special needs, or defective equipment. 

Our attorneys will then analyze and determine the full extent of our client’s injuries. The attorneys will often call no medical and economic experts to present a convincing testimony to the insurance company and jury regarding the impact on a child’s life of an injury and other related factors such as:

•  a spinal cord injury that results in a permanent disability such as paraplegia or quadriplegia
• a traumatic brain injury 
• multiple fractures 
• facial crushing or scarring 
• the projected cost of life care in a nursing home 
• the loss of companionship suffered by the child's family 
• the loss of the victim's potential earnings

If your child was injured in a handicap/disability van or school bus accident, it is important to file any claim within strict time limits.
