Did you know that over one million children and teens in Texas ride a bus to one of our 9,000 schools every day? While school buses are known to be safer and involved in accidents less often than public buses, sometimes school bus accidents happen and children are injured. In fact, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) reported 2,126 school bus accidents involving school buses took place in the 2010-2011 school year alone. Unfortunately, many of the children on those buses have been injured.

While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 96% of all school children injured in school bus accidents are considered to have minor injuries (scrapes, bumps, and bruises), injuries from a bus accident can be severe and may include any combination of the following:

Swelling and bruising
Sprains
Dislocations
Fractures and broken bones
Back and neck injuries
Internal organ damage
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Paralysis
Death

Hitting other vehicles in the buses blind spot
Vehicles turning or stopping suddenly in front of the bus
Failure to properly maintain the bus
