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

In order to prove that the school board was negligent in your accident, you must prove that they owed a duty of care to you, breached that duty of care, and caused the injuries suffered as a result. In North Carolina, a school board’s responsibility for students is that of a property owner exercising reasonable care for the safety of the students. Thus, you must prove that the school board failed to exercise such reasonable care for your safety. Proving that the school board was negligent typically involves three steps. First, you must show that the school board owed a duty of care to you under the circumstances. Second, you must show that the school board breached their duty of care. This could involve showing that the school board did not inspect the bus, failed to maintain it properly, or that the driver was not properly trained. Lastly, you must show that the school board’s breach of duty caused your injuries. In some cases, it may be difficult to prove that the school board was negligent. You may need expert testimony about how a reasonably careful school board would have acted in your situation. You may also need to call witnesses to testify to specific facts about the accident, such as whether the bus brakes were in working condition. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you gather evidence and build your case.
