If your child has been injured in a school bus accident, the two most important things you need to do are: (i) get your child to a doctor promptly, and (ii) schedule an appointment to speak with an attorney about your family’s rights. You may be contacted by the local school board about the accident. If you are, you should not say anything until you have legal representation. You need to make sure your child receives professional medical treatment, and you need to make sure your family’s legal rights are protected.

Due to these and other considerations, if you have been injured in a Votran accident, it is important that you speak with an attorney about your case immediately.
