Connecticut Lawyer: School Bus Crash Injury Claims - Connecticut - A few Things to Know



Bus Crash Attorney Jason L. McCoy 800-837-5901 http://ct-injury.attorney


Did you know that there is a higher standard of care for school bus companies?  This week about two dozen children suffered injuries when a school bus rear-ended a car near a construction zone on Interstate 384 westbound in Manchester Connecticut.   Often people just do not know their rights and have no idea about what is to come. I want people to understand the situation. 



Many people do not know that the public school buses are operated by private companies not operated by the public school system. Over the years I have represented victims and their parents against school bus companies and against their bus drivers. The biggest mistake made is not to hiring someone with expertise immediately after the incident.  Why? Because the video's from the bus on the day of the incident needs to be secured and the evidence needs to be saved but the big student bus companies do everything possible to protect its big government contract as these companies first concern after a bus accident is the protection of its government contract and money not the victims and their families. I say the student bus company's money because often it is self insured, which is permitted under the law, but little known. 


The law in Connecticut is on your side if a school bus crash does occur. But the carriers will first look to protect its bottom line. Here are some of the laws in Connecticut that are in place to protect  injured students and their families. Read the article and find out about the law.
