In a horrible tragedy, 11 year old Austin Greene died in a fatal school bus wreck that occurred on January 23, 2008. The driver of the school bus was headed down highway 178 near liberty, South Carolina. While driving, the bus driver lost control and ran off the road. The driver never recovered control and tumbled down an embankment, and ultimately crashed into a tree. The school bus driver was given a ticket for driving too fast for the conditions. Austin's parents will receive $450,000 dollars as part of the settlement.

Further details are unknown about the history of the bus driver. For example, as Missouri semi-truck accident attorneys, we will often have our investigators obtain the complete driving history of the bus driver. Sometimes we will find that such a reckless history becomes clear that the bus companies themselves were negligent in hiring the bus drivers in the first place. Unlike car accident personal injury cases, school bus crashes and semi truck cases are much more complicated and involve a greater level of expertise. There are additional rules and regulations which pertain to driving school busses and tractor trailers. Complexity of these cases revolves around the amount of discovery that is involved and leaving no stone unturned.
