In Kansas, our children and students often find themselves in danger due to the alarmingly high number of school bus accidents. These accidents represent a grim reality for many families who depend on school bus services for their children's transportation. When a mother or father gets that call telling them that their child was in an overturned bus, they usually go into immediate grief and shock.

Many school bus accidents happen in Wichita and across Kansas because of the lack of seatbelts being required. Most school buses do not have this basic safety feature, putting our children's safety at risk each time they get on the bus. This becomes even more dangerous when sudden stops, unexpected turns, or collisions happen. As a result, students can get various types of injuries, from small bruises to serious wounds. In the worst cases, these accidents can lead to deadly injuries, leaving families heartbroken and communities in shock.

A safety system using mounted cameras in the bus plus a GPS tracking system that monitors sudden reactions of the driver like fast braking, evasive maneuvers and turning corners too sharply can send the School or Bus Company managing the school buses instant driver information and can take photographs to show what they are doing at the time of the sudden reaction. Unfortunately, many bus companies do not want to spend the money it takes to install these monitoring systems.

The responsibility for stopping these accidents falls on bus drivers and the school districts that employ them. The drivers, for their part, must follow safety rules and practice safe driving. This includes following speed limits, staying alert for dangers, and making sure there's good behavior within the bus.

School districts, on the other hand, have a big role in enforcing safety standards and giving regular maintenance for their fleet. They must also make sure that their drivers are adequately trained in safety and defensive driving so they are ready for their job. When they fail to uphold these responsibilities, they leave their young passengers at risk of harm.

At Bull Attorneys we firmly believe in protecting our children's future, and this includes making sure they're safe during their commute to and from school. Our dedicated Kansas and Missouri bus accident lawyers are committed to representing victims of school bus accidents and their families. We understand how deep your pain is and how big your loss is, and we are here to fight for justice on your behalf.
