Losing a loved one or seeing them injured is difficult, but even more so when the loved one is a precious child.
Sending our children off to school on a school bus is often safe. However, children can be seriously injured or killed if the driver of the bus or another driver on the roadway is negligent or reckless and causes a collision.
When a child is injured or killed on a West Virginia school bus because of the carelessness of another, there can be difficult legal challenges faced in seeking justice. At the Manchin Injury Law Group in Fairmont, our bus accident attorneys have the experience and resources to stand beside you, tackle those challenges, and fight for the justice you and your family deserve.
