School bus accidents are terrifying, whether they are single vehicle accidents or collisions with other vehicles. In addition to school bus collisions, however, there are many school bus related incidents and injuries that can occur, including:

• Bullying and physical assault on buses
• Pedestrian accidents when disembarking school buses or getting on buses
• Doors closing on a child and harming them
• Slip and fall accidents on a bus
• Injuries caused by the bus having to make sudden, jerking stops

No matter how your child has been injured, if the injury occurred on a school bus or on school property, you may have legal options that allow you to seek compensation which can help your child recover more fully. Any time that your child is injured on a school bus, school property, or due to a school activity, it is a good idea to get legal advice so that you can make the best choices for your child and your family.

The cost of the school bus accident can be catastrophic. After this type of accident has affected your child, you may need to find ways to pay for:

• Medication
• At-home care
• Daycare
• Income replacement if you need to stay away from work in order to care for your child
• Emergency services
• Surgery
• Medical devices
• Physical therapy or rehabilitation
• Incidental costs, such as making your home accessible for your child's needs
• Property damage
• Tutoring or at-home help if your child needs to stay away from school for a while

How will you pay for all of these costs if your child is injured? Unless you have substantial personal assets and savings, these results can be catastrophic for you and your family. Florida law does protect you in these types of cases. If your child's injuries were caused due to recklessness or negligence or a wrongful act, you may be able to pursue a legal claim in order to secure compensation that can help you pay for your child's future and healthcare, among other expenses.
