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

In order to prove that the school board was negligent in your school bus accident, you must be able to demonstrate that the school board breached its duty of care. California Civil Code Section 1714-1717 outlines what this duty of care is; it states that a person must exercise reasonable care in their actions to avoid injuring another person. To prove negligence in a school bus accident, you must first identify the defendant as the school board. You must then prove that they had a duty of care towards you, and that they failed to do so. This means demonstrating that they did not exercise reasonable care in their actions, and that they caused your bus accident due to their negligence. You will need to provide evidence such as witness statements, photographs, or surveillance footage to back up your claims. You will also have to show that the school board’s negligence was the cause of your accident. This means demonstrating that the accident would not have happened had the school board acted reasonably. Once you have established these two elements, you will have a claim for negligence against the school board for your school bus accident.
