School Bus Accidents in Ohio
Even drivers who are tasked with transporting students are at risk of being involved in a serious collision. There were 1,282 people killed in school-transportation-related accidents in the United States from 2007 to 2016. That is an average of 128 deaths happening per year. Of those killed, nearly 9% were occupants of the school bus, and nearly 20% of those killed were non-occupants. There are many factors that contribute to school bus accidents, including poor training and reckless behaviors.
In Ohio, other drivers owe a duty to use reasonable care when operating a motor vehicle. Unfortunately, many drivers in the state breach this duty and cause catastrophic car accidents. The resulting damages following a car accident can impact a victim’s life. The driver responsible for causing an Ohio school bus accident can be held responsible for any resulting injuries. Before you discuss your claim with an insurance company, you should consult with a qualified Cincinnati bus accident attorney.
