School Bus Accident Causes

Injuries from a school bus can happen in many different ways including:

  • The collision between a school bus and another vehicle
  • School bus hitting your child
  • Slippery floors on the bus, causing slip and fall injuries
  • Dangerous conditions surrounding the bus stairs
  • Injuries caused by sudden stops and starts of the bus
  • Injuries caused by fighting with other children on the bus

Not only is the school responsible for the safety of your child while in the school building itself, but also while being transported to and from the school or any school-related event.

This means not only does the driver need to be a safe driver, but there must be control of the students on the bus.

If your child was injured because the school failed to keep him or her safe, it is your right to seek compensation for those injuries.

School Bus Accident Statistics

A school bus-related crash is defined as any type of crash that directly or indirectly involves a school bus or a vehicle functioning as a school bus that is transporting students to or from school or a school-related activity.

Official school bus accident statistics show that 1,450 people have been killed in a school bus-related accident since 1990.

Only nine percent of those killed were passengers on the school bus itself.  Sixty-seven percent were occupants of other vehicles involved in the accident, and 25 percent were pedestrians or bicyclists.

These statistics show that each year, approximately 27 school-age children die from school bus-related accidents.

Twenty out of those 27 will be pedestrians.  More than half of all pedestrian fatalities involving school buses are children between the ages of five and seven.
