Clearwater School Bus Accidents

Most parents expend a great deal of effort to ensure that their sons and daughters are protected from exposure to needless safety hazards. Once children begin attending school, however, there is a significant portion of the day during their parents cannot supervise them. We should be able to trust school district personnel to guard children’s welfare. Unfortunately, that faith is sometimes betrayed by negligence that leads to catastrophes such as school bus accidents.

If your child has been hurt while riding the bus to or from school or a school-related activity, then it might be appropriate for you to consider filing a legal action.
