What can I do if the school bus was not equipped with proper safety features?

If a school bus accident occurs due to the lack of proper safety features, those affected by the accident may be able to receive compensation for their injuries or losses. In New Hampshire, school bus drivers and/or owners can be held liable if they fail to ensure the bus has adequate safety features that would have prevented an accident from occurring or limited its severity. In order to successfully pursue a claim for a school bus accident, it is important to provide proof that the safety features required by the State or School Board were not present on the bus. This may include photographs taken of the accident scene, diagrams and drawings showing the lack of safety features, and medical and/or police reports. Consultation with an experienced personal injury attorney can be beneficial in determining the best course of action. Victims of school bus accidents may also be able to receive compensation from the government or school district. In these cases, the government or school district may be held liable for failing to ensure the school bus had the proper safety features. Moreover, if it is determined that driver negligence or another party’s negligence caused the accident, that party may also be held liable. Ultimately, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney to determine the best course of action in order to seek the compensation you deserve following a school bus accident. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the applicable law in New Hampshire, understand your rights, and pursue a successful claim.
