Attorney contributor Laurence Banville often represents victims injured in school bus accidents in New York. As an experienced bus accident lawyer, he recently discussed the legal options available for injured victims of school bus accidents, including seeking financial compensation.
"Parents expect their children to be safe when transported by a school bus. Sadly, this is not always the case. When a school bus accident occurs, it is important to investigate the cause. There may be defects with the bus itself, negligence by the driver or transportation company, or other road conditions that could have led to the accident. The transportation company must ensure that their vehicles are in good shape and that their drivers are properly trained. Regular maintenance checks should be done to reduce the risk of preventable incidents. If the transportation company is negligent, they could be held liable for any injuries related to the accident."
"When someone is involved in a bus accident, an experienced accident lawyer can help them identify all responsible parties. Victims and their families may be able to receive financial compensation by filing a lawsuit against these parties."
