At Glisson Law, we have represented numerous injury cases involving buses, including school bus cases. These cases can involve complicated questions about the bus driver, school district, transportation company, other motorists, vehicle maintenance, roadway conditions, and more.

According to the latest Illinois Department of Transportation crash data, there were 1,141 school bus crashes across Illinois in 2024. While school bus crashes accounted for less than 1% of all crashes, 164 reported injuries.

We are currently working on a school bus case from Greene County, Illinois involving a bus carrying a handful of eighth grade student passengers that rolled onto its side. Thankfully, school bus crashes are not something families frequently deal with, but when they happen, understanding what caused the crash and who may be responsible is critical for those who are injured.

At Glisson Law, we take these cases seriously. When a child, parent, or other passenger is injured in a bus crash, our job is to investigate what happened, identify the responsible parties, and fight to protect the injured person's rights.

When our office says we represent people who have been wrongfully injured in automobile accidents, we do not just mean cars. We mean the many different ways people travel and the many different types of crashes that can cause serious injuries.

🚗 Cars and SUVs
🚚 Semi trucks and commercial trucks
🏍️ Motorcycles
🚌 Buses and school buses
🚕 Taxis and rideshare vehicles
🚐 Vans and commercial vehicles
🚲 Bicycles and electric bicycles
🛴 Electric scooters
🏎️ Off road and recreational vehicles
🛻 ATVs and UTVs
🚆 Trains and railroad crossings
⛴️ Ferries and watercraft
🚤 Boats and personal watercraft
🚶 Pedestrian accidents involving vehicles

Whether you are on the highway, a neighborhood street, a railroad crossing, a bike path, or out on the water, an accident can leave you facing serious injuries and complicated questions about who is responsible. At Glisson Law, we handle injury cases involving all kinds of transportation and work to determine what happened, who may be responsible, and what options are available to the people who were injured.

Because an accident does not have to involve two cars to change your life.

As part of our continued commitment to giving back throughout the year, we are proud to share that our July donation went to Sleep in Heavenly Peace in Alton, Illinois.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace began in 2012 in Twin Falls, Idaho, when founder Luke Mickelson built a bed for a family in need. What started as one simple act of kindness grew into a national nonprofit dedicated to making sure no child has to sleep on the floor. Today, volunteers across the country build and deliver beds to children who do not have a safe and comfortable place to sleep.

That mission has made its way right here in the Riverbend community. The Alton chapter was founded in November 2019 and serves children and families across Madison, Jersey, Greene, and Macoupin counties. Local volunteers build beds by hand and deliver them directly to children in need throughout the area.

For us, supporting the Alton chapter is especially meaningful because it allows our giving to stay close to home. A national mission becomes a local impact when neighbors, volunteers, and organizations come together to help children in our own community.

From all of us at Glisson Law, thank you to the volunteers and supporters of Sleep in Heavenly Peace who are helping make sure every child has a bed to call their own.

See yellow, touch the brake pedal! 🚌🛑

In Illinois, drivers are required by law to stop behind school buses that are displaying red flashing lights and their extended arm stop sign(s).

This law also applies to drivers in the opposite lane of a bus, meaning both lanes of traffic must stop for school buses (unless the road is divided by a median).

Proceed with extra caution when driving near a school bus and always allow at least 20 feet between you and the bus. They’re carrying our future and the most important cargo.

Wishing our Glisson Law followers and beyond a very happy, successful, and safe school year! 📚✏️🚌

As students head back to the classroom, we encourage everyone to appreciate their teachers, be kind to one another, and learn as much as they can!

The start of the school year also means more children walking to school, riding bikes, waiting at bus stops, and crossing busy streets. Drivers should slow down, stay alert in school zones, put away distractions, and always stop for school buses when required by law. A few extra seconds of caution can help prevent a life changing accident.

At Glisson Law, we know that keeping our communities safe starts with looking out for one another. Let's work together to make this school year a safe one for every student, teacher, and family. Have a great first day of school and an even better year ahead! 🍎

After an accident, you may think the only evidence is what you remember and what the police report says. But security cameras at gas stations, restaurants, banks, schools, homes, and intersections may have captured what happened.

When you hire Glisson Law, our team can investigate whether video footage exists and work to obtain and preserve that evidence when appropriate. That footage could help show what really happened, support your claim, and give us stronger evidence when dealing with the insurance company.

You may not know what was captured. That’s why a thorough investigation matters. Collecting the right evidence can make a difference.
