School Bus Accidents in Missouri

Missouri roads witness a variety of traffic accidents annually, including those involving school buses. While school buses are among the safest vehicles, accidents still occur due to driver error, road conditions, or mechanical issues. These crashes often result in injuries to passengers, many of whom are children or young adults.

Here are some critical points about school bus accidents:

1. Passenger Injuries: Passengers on school buses often sustain minor to moderate injuries, including bruises, sprains, and, in more serious cases, head or spinal trauma.
2. Driver Challenges: Maneuvering large vehicles like school buses can be challenging, particularly on narrow or uneven roads. Distracted or fatigued driving can further increase the risk of accidents.
3. Road Conditions: Poorly maintained roads, sharp curves, or hazardous weather can contribute to crashes, making safe navigation difficult for large vehicles.
4. Legal Considerations: Victims of school bus accidents may require legal assistance to address medical expenses and other damages resulting from the crash.
