Santa Ana and Anaheim School Bus Accident Lawyer

Request A Free Case Evaluation

As parents, we assume that our children will be properly cared for while under the supervision of a school, its employees, and staff. Rarely do we consider the premise of our children being injured in a school accident or school bus accident. While school buses statistically are a much safer form of transportation than passenger vehicles, accidents can be devastating when they occur. If your child has been injured in a school bus accident, it’s important to contact an experienced child injury attorney as soon as possible so that negligent parties can be held accountable and your child can receive the compensation he or she needs.

At the Cifarelli Law Firm, our Santa Ana and Anaheim school bus accident lawyers represent children injured in school bus crashes and other types of accidents caused by negligence. From our law office in Irvine, we represent families in Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and all of California. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.

School Bus Driver Negligence

Given the importance of whom school buses carry, school systems need to hire safe drivers and provide those drivers with proper training and supervision. Examples of school bus driver negligence include:

  • Talking on cellphones, Facebooking, or texting while driving
  • Careless, distracted, or reckless driving
  • Failing to stop at railroad and train tracks
  • Failing to extend stop arms while students are getting on or off the bus
  • Failing to watch if students are clear from the bus before driving away
  • Failing to secure preschool students in seat belts
  • Failing to adhere to traffic laws
  • Being under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications

If the accident was caused by a defect in bus maintenance or safety systems, our Santa Ana and Anaheim team of school bus accident lawyers will work tirelessly to hold the negligent parties accountable.

Negligence Of Other Drivers

Whether the accident was caused by the negligence of the school bus driver or the driver of another vehicle, your child is entitled to benefits and financial compensation for their injuries, medical costs, pain and suffering. Examples of negligence by other drivers include:

  • Passing a school bus while the stop arm is extended
  • Failure to yield the right of way to school buses
  • Drunk driving
  • Distracted driving (eating, texting, applying makeup, etc.)

Our school bus accident injury lawyers will evaluate both the fault and the available insurance coverage to ensure maximum compensation for your child after their school bus accident in Santa Ana and Anaheim.
