There was no one hurt in this crash, but it does raise awareness of the possibility of having a child suffer injury while on a school bus, raising several questions for parents.

First off, if your child is injured in an accident, the first step is always to seek medical attention. After your child receives the medical care that they need following an Ohio school bus accident, the next steps is for you as a parent to contact a legal professional to help you make the right decisions on behalf of your child.

The reason why hiring a lawyer is so important soon after a school bus accident is that these accidents can be very confusing, especially for someone who has no exposer to this area of the law. When someone is involved in an accident on a school bus, there can be a handful of entities or companies that can be named in a lawsuit. For instance, if the driver was at-fault, the school bus accident claim could name the driver, in addition to the school district and even the manufacturer of the vehicle if a defective component played a role in the accident.
