Julian Amador dies in Sanger ISD bus rollover in Denton

FATAL SCHOOL BUS ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

The Texas DPS is investigating the circumstances that caused the school bus to leave the roadway.

Several factors can contribute to school bus crashes, including driver distraction, fatigue, mechanical problems and human error. Inadequate experience or training may also be factors because operating a bus differs significantly from driving a car or SUV.

Along with the work of law enforcement, Candice Bond, an experienced commercial bus accident attorney, said that in cases such as this, an independent probe is important to protect the rights of a victim’s grieving family.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a bus crash case and prove negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Bus crashes can be complex, and companies often utilize large law firms to defend a negligent driver. An attorney can advocate for a victim by hiring expert witnesses, conducting drivers’ background checks, and locating witnesses to the crash while carefully guiding a client through the legal process.”

School bus-related crashes killed 128 people nationwide in 2023, up 23% from 2022, according to National Safety Council (NSC) tabulations of data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
