School Bus Accidents in Michigan

School bus accidents, though less frequent than other vehicle crashes, can have serious consequences. Michigan reports thousands of school bus-related incidents each year, often due to driver negligence, road conditions, or traffic violations. When a bus is involved in a crash, multiple parties may be affected, including students, other drivers, and pedestrians.

Here are some common risk factors in school bus accidents:

• Driver Inattention: Both bus drivers and other motorists may fail to notice changing traffic conditions, increasing the likelihood of a crash.
• Failure to Yield: Accidents frequently occur when other drivers ignore stop signs on school buses or fail to yield at intersections.
• Blind Spots & Large Vehicle Size: Due to their size, buses have significant blind spots, making lane changes and turns more dangerous.
• Speeding in School Zones: Many school bus accidents happen near schools or neighborhoods where drivers fail to slow down.
• Sudden Stops & Rear-End Collisions: Motorists following too closely behind a school bus risk rear-ending it when it makes frequent stops.
