If the school bus driver was negligent or the bus was poorly maintained, you may have grounds for a claim against the responsible parties. Negligence can include actions such as distracted driving or failing to follow safety regulations. Poor maintenance could involve issues like faulty brakes or worn-out tires. Claims can be filed against the bus driver, the school district, or the company responsible for bus maintenance, depending on the nature of the negligence.
In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including those involving school bus accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, claims involving government entities, such as school districts, often have shorter deadlines and require a formal notice of claim within six months. It’s important to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure all deadlines are met and your rights are protected.
Liability in a school bus accident case can be complex, as it may involve multiple parties such as the school district, the bus driver, and potentially the bus manufacturer or maintenance provider. To establish liability, you must demonstrate that the driver or other parties were negligent and that their negligence caused the accident and your injuries. Evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and maintenance records can be crucial in proving liability.
Compensation for injuries from a school bus accident can include medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. If the accident led to long-term injuries or significant life disruptions, you might also be entitled to additional damages for emotional distress or diminished quality of life. The amount of compensation will depend on the severity of your injuries and the specifics of the accident.
