Ft. Lauderdale Bus Accident Lawyer
Statistics on School Bus Accidents
When the driver of a school bus drives in a way that is irresponsible or reckless, a serious accident can occur. Statistics show that being injured by a school bus in a major metropolis area like Ft. Lauderdale is very likely to be fatal. Other injuries suffered from school bus accidents include serious friction burns, broken bones, traumatic brain injury and the possibility of a coma. School buses are at higher risk for accidents because they are on the road every day of the school year and they are the biggest type of mass transit in the United States.
Almost 24 million students are transported to and from school or school related activities by nearly half a million school buses. Since the year 1990, 407,000 fatal traffic accidents have occurred in the United States and one third of one percent of these accidents are school bus related. Almost half of all school bus accidents involve impacts to the front end of a school bus. Other types of school bus accidents include left side impacts, rear impacts, right side impacts and non-collisions.
