🚌⚠️ School Bus Safety: One Mistake Can Change a Family's Life.
It's National School Bus Safety Week, and we're reminding Georgia drivers that stopping for a school bus isn't just courteous — it's the law.
Under O.C.G.A. § 40-6-163, Georgia drivers must generally stop when approaching a school bus displaying its stop signals while loading or unloading children.
But what happens when a driver ignores those signals and causes an accident?
School bus accidents can involve complicated legal questions, including liability for bus drivers, school districts, or other motorists. Claims involving government entities may be subject to special rules and strict notice deadlines. Whether your child is riding the bus, crossing the street, or waiting at a bus stop, their safety should always come first.
At Sexton Weldon, we're committed to protecting Georgia families and helping those injured by negligence. Give us a call today. 📞 770-474-9335
