How can I show that the school board was negligent in my accident?

In order to show that the school board was negligent in a school bus accident in Texas, you must be able to demonstrate that they failed to exercise due care in their duty of protecting students. According to the Texas Education Code, the school district has a responsibility to safely transport students to and from school. In order to demonstrate that the school board was negligent in your accident, you must be able to demonstrate that the school board failed to meet their duty of care in some way. Specific evidence of negligence may include overcrowding on the bus, driver fatigue, failure to implement or follow necessary safety protocols, inadequate seatbelt or other safety equipment, or other circumstances. Additionally, you might also need to present evidence of a breach of standards of care by the school board and how this breach caused the accident. You can also demonstrate that the school board was negligent in your accident by proving that their actions were a “substantial factor” in causing the accident. This means that you must be able to show that the link between the school board’s negligence and the accident is significant enough that the accident would not have occurred if the school board had not been negligent. Finally, it is important to document all available evidence, such as photos of the bus, witness statements, reports, and any other relevant material that might help demonstrate the school board’s negligence. This evidence is critical to helping you prove and win your case.
