Bus Accident Attorney Minnesota

A bus company, whether a school bus or motor coach, has a duty to use the highest degree of care to make sure its passengers are safe. Sadly, this does not always occur. Bus companies sometimes do not conduct the basic driving and background checks to ensure the experience and safety record of a driver they hire. And then, unsafe drivers transport people and little children, placing them in danger. Other safety issues include:

  • Bus drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol.
  • Poorly maintained, unsafe buses.
  • Drivers distracted by talking on the phone or eating.

Bus accidents and injuries result in 17,000 emergency room visits and an average of 20 deaths annually. Accidents occur often when children are loading or unloading, and the bus driver or other car drivers do not pay attention to the location of the children. And only a handful of states require that new school buses have seat belts.
