Cellino Law reminds New York parents about school bus accident risks as back-to-school season approaches

With more buses returning to the road, the firm encourages parents to understand what to do if a child is injured

BUFFALO, NY, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As students prepare to return to school, Cellino Law is reminding New York parents to stay informed about school bus accidents, injuries at school and the steps families may need to take if their child is hurt.
Thousands of children across New York rely on school buses each day. While school buses are generally considered a safe way for children to travel, accidents can still happen on the road, at bus stops or on school property.

“Back-to-school season means families are adjusting to new routines, and drivers are sharing the road with more school buses,” said Ross Cellino, a personal injury attorney at Cellino Law. “Parents should know what questions to ask and what information to gather if their child is injured on the way to school, at school or on the way home.”

School bus accidents may be caused by distracted driving, speeding, poor visibility, unsafe passing, reckless driving or driver inexperience. Legal responsibility can depend on several factors, including whether the bus driver, another driver, a school district, a transportation company or another party contributed to the accident.

Injuries involving school buses or school property can range from minor to serious. Children may experience head injuries, concussions, neck and back injuries, broken bones, internal injuries or other trauma that may not be immediately obvious.

“When a child is injured, medical care should come first,” said Tim Cellino, personal injury attorney at Cellino Law. “After that, parents should document what happened, keep copies of reports and medical records and speak with an experienced personal injury attorney if they have questions about liability or deadlines.”

Cellino Law encourages parents to seek medical attention after a school bus accident or school-related injury, even if symptoms appear mild. Parents should also report the incident, request available records, take photos when possible, gather witness information and avoid making assumptions about who may be responsible before the facts are reviewed.

Cases involving children, schools, and school buses can include several responsible parties and strict filing requirements. Cellino Law’s experienced attorneys will investigate the accident, identify available insurance coverage, preserve important evidence, and explain how state laws may apply and what legal options may be available.
