Frequently Asked Questions
Is suing a school district different from suing a private bus company?
Yes—government claims often require ante litem notice, may involve damages caps, and have unique procedural defenses.
Do bus passengers always have a claim against the bus company?
Only if negligence or a dangerous condition contributed. Sometimes another driver is solely at fault.
