How School Bus Crashes Happen in Hollywood, FL

School bus accidents can be caused by multiple factors, including:
- Driver negligence
- Dangerous roadways
- Weather conditions
- Defective products
- Improper maintenance

Identifying Fault After a School Bus Accident and Understanding Your Legal Rights
Legal action following a school bus accident will not undo the damage suffered by the victim, but compensation can often pay for better medical treatment and rehabilitative care. The
Hollywood personal injury attorneys at Rosen & Ohr, P.A. will conduct a full investigation into the factors that led to the crash to determine who should be held responsible.
You may be able to file a claim against the bus company to recover damages. If you were a passenger on a bus involved in an accident, the company—whether public or private—must exercise the highest degree of care, prudence, and diligence required under the circumstances. This standard requires more care than what is typically owed in
motor vehicle accidents.
