What should I do if the school bus driver was distracted or under the influence?

If you were injured in a school bus accident and think that the driver was distracted or under the influence, it is important to take action. The first step is to report the incident to the appropriate authorities. If you were injured while riding on a public school bus, you should report the incident to the local police or the Minnesota State Patrol. If it was a private bus, you should contact the bus company. The next step is to file a claim for damages. If the accident was caused by the negligence of the driver (either by being distracted or under the influence), you may be able to seek compensation for medical bills, property damage, and other losses. Anytime you are involved in a school bus accident, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney who can assess the situation and advise you of the best course of action. Finally, it is important to document all evidence related to the accident, including photos of the scene, contact information of any witnesses, and any other pertinent information. After the accident, you may want to follow up with a doctor or other medical professional for a physical examination and treatment. Keep all medical records related to the accident. All this evidence can help prove that the driver was distracted or under the influence and help build your case.
