The Virginia Personal Injury Lawyers’ Perspective
As a personal injury lawyer I hear all too often about a school bus involved in an accident. Last month in Kentucky (KY) a bus lost control and skid into a ditch injuring six children, the exact cause of the accident is unknown but bad weather is believed what initiated the accident. In some cases the accident is caused by another driver not paying enough attention to the road. Earlier in the month in North Carolina (NC) a distracted driver rear ended a school bus and also injured six children. Children are very susceptible to injury on a school bus due to the lack of seat belts. Any impact throws the children into seats, walls, and each other creating many opportunities for injury. No injury should be taken lightly in a child and the parents should strongly consider speaking to a Virginia Beach personal injury lawyer who is experienced in dealing with this type accident. The knowledge surrounding what types of injuries and the recovery process is essential to determining a possible claim. With an injury to a child it may not be as straightforward as one surgery; their bodies are still growing and not fully developed, which can lead to additional surgeries as they grow.
