Every day in America, children are transported to school, field trips and other events using school buses or other school vehicles.

Parents trust that school bus operators, owners and manufacturers will ensure the safety of their children as their number one priority. When this does not happen, accidents can occur. School bus accidents often lead to serious injuries and fatalities. That tragedy is compounded when these auto accidents are due to negligent factors.
