Defining the Liability Standards in School Bus Accidents Safety experts reported that children are more likely to suffer a school-bus-related accident when they are at or approaching a bus stop, than when they are passengers in one of these vehicles. Common dangers at bus stops include buses that don’t come to a complete stop and children that run in front of or behind a bus. Finding a New York bus accidents attorney is essential for victims of school bus crashes that cause injury. Whether victims were passengers in the school bus, pedestrians, or drivers and passengers in vehicles that were struck by the bus, securing experienced legal representation is vital to a claim for compensation and recovery of damages.
