Bus Accidents in Pennsylvania 

Though school bus accidents do not happen as commonly as other accidents on our roads, they tend to lead to severe damages when they do occur. Every year, it is estimated that over 17,000 children are hurt in school bus accidents due to the recklessness of others. School bus drivers are specifically trained to operate their vehicles with the utmost of care but this does not always happen. If your life has been turned upside-down due to a bus accident, you may wonder where you can turn. Speaking with a legal advocate is in your best interests during these difficult times.

Facing a school bus crash can be a terrifying and complex time in your life. These accidents tend to lead to some of the most severe injuries, which include the following:

• Neck and back injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
