School Bus Accident – $30,000.00

A school bus driver negligently operated a school bus causing it to come to a violent and sudden stop. At the same time our minor client and other students were standing in the aisle due to overcrowding of the bus and negligent supervision. Prior complaints from parents about overcrowding and the lack of a school bus monitor were made to the school bus operating company and the public school system. When our client fell, he suffered a laceration to his ear requiring stitches resulting in minor permanent scarring. A dermatologist was hired to render an opinion on the nature and permanency of the scar. The case was settled shortly after a lawsuit and a petition for approval of a settlement with a minor were filed.
