School Bus Accidents
What sends 17,000 children to emergency rooms each year?
School buses – necessary transportation for so many, yet the accidents they cause result in emergency room visits by 17,000 children each year in the United States. And more than 10 children a year die as a result of school bus-related accidents.
While school buses travel at low speeds, their large size can pose a threat to other cars that share the road – and to their precious passengers. The companies that maintain public transportation vehicles are liable for their safety.

A Client's Story...
Hello my name is Tommy J. Believe me the last thing I ever wanted to be was the client of a personal injury lawyer. Don’t get me wrong the people at Brown and Crouppen have been great but this car wreck has really been tough on me and my family. December 5, 2001 is a day I’ll never forget, I was riding with some friends after work when the driver of the car lost control and ran into the side of a building. CONTINUE
Things You Should Know...
If you’ve been in a car accident it’s important to understand the “real” agenda of the insurance company in your case. See, insurance companies exist for one purpose only, to make money. Insurance companies make money by selling insurance and receiving premium payments, they then invest this money and make even more money. Insurance companies lose money by paying out benefits (money) to people hurt in car accidents caused by the people they insure. CONTINUE
