School Bus Accidents in Texas
It is impossible to predict if you may be involved in an unexpected car crash. Even when you feel the safest, a major collision can happen at almost any time. Even vehicles that are meant to serve the public good can be involved in a crash, including ambulances and school buses. There are an estimated 124 school bus accidents in the United States each year. There were 108 documented school bus-related fatalities on US highways in 2021, up almost 50 from the year before. Less than 5 percent of these deaths include bus passengers, but over 70 percent involve occupants of other vehicles. It is crucial that you are prepared to take the required legal action to protect your legal rights in the event that you or someone you love is injured in a school bus accident.
Any type of crash has the potential to change your life. A large number of people in Texas suffer injuries in auto accidents every year.
