School Bus Safety in Manhattan
School bus accidents in Manhattan are a serious concern due to heavy traffic, crowded streets, and the large number of buses transporting children throughout the city. Even a single collision can result in injuries to students, drivers, and pedestrians. School bus routes often navigate narrow streets, intersections with limited visibility, and areas with high pedestrian activity, which increases the risk of accidents.
Common causes of school bus accidents include driver error, sudden stops, mechanical issues, poor weather conditions, and congested roadways. In busy areas such as East Harlem, traffic congestion, double-parked vehicles, and frequent pedestrian crossings can increase the likelihood of collisions and accidents.
Injuries sustained in school bus crashes can range from minor cuts and bruises to more serious trauma, including broken bones, head injuries, and internal injuries. Families often face not only physical injuries but also medical expenses, emotional stress, disruption to daily routines, and concerns about long-term recovery. Children involved in accidents may also experience anxiety or fear related to riding the bus, making emotional support and counseling important aspects of care.
