School districts and school bus drivers are entrusted with the significant responsibility of safely transporting many students to school and back home at the end of the day. The Colorado Springs bus accident lawyers at Fang Accident Lawyers know that school buses provide essential services to parents and their children, and unfortunately, school bus accidents and resulting injuries sometimes occur.
People involved in school bus accidents as bus passengers or as occupants of another vehicle involved in the accident face a heightened risk of severe injuries, in part, due to the size and mass of school buses. Additionally, many school buses are not equipped with safety belts, so passengers have nothing to hold them in their seats, and buses have a tendency to roll over in accidents.

There are several potential defendants in school bus accident cases, depending on who caused the accident. If bus driver negligence caused the accident, you might have a claim against the driver and his or her school district employer. If the driver of another vehicle caused the accident, your claim would be against that driver. Other liable parties may include those who are responsible for maintaining the school bus or the vehicle manufacturer.
The first step in pursuing a school bus accident claim is to determine who caused the accident and who is responsible. Our Colorado Springs accident lawyers will investigate the accident and speak with witnesses. They will review accident reports and other evidence to determine accident fault. They will ensure that all filing deadlines are met, including notice requirements for claims against the government.
School bus accidents often involve more than one defendant. Our bus accident lawyers will negotiate with defendants and their insurance companies to reach a settlement agreement without going to trial. If they cannot reach an agreement that provides you with the compensation that you deserve, they will pursue your financial recovery in court.
