An adult passenger was also taken to Cooper University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The bus driver and pickup truck driver declined medical attention, police said.

Can Injured Passengers File Claims After a School Bus Crash in East Greenwich Township, NJ?

Yes. Passengers injured in a school bus crash in East Greenwich Township, NJ, may be able to seek compensation through applicable insurance coverage or a personal injury claim.

Available options depend on who caused the crash, the vehicles involved, and whether a public entity owns or operates the bus.

Passengers generally are not responsible for operating the vehicles involved. If a driver’s negligence contributed to the collision, an injured passenger may have a claim against that driver. More than one driver or party may share responsibility.

Potential compensation may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income for injured adults, and pain and suffering. Claims involving children may also include medical treatment and other legally recoverable losses. Any recovery depends on the evidence, injury severity, and available insurance coverage.

School bus claims may involve additional requirements. If a public school district or government entity owns or operates the bus, special notice rules and deadlines may apply. These requirements can differ from those for claims involving private bus operators or other motorists. Identifying the bus operator and reviewing applicable rules promptly is important.

Useful evidence may include the police report, photographs, witness accounts, medical records, treatment bills, and insurance information. Families should also keep records of follow-up appointments, school absences, and other expenses related to a child’s treatment.

New Jersey generally allows two years to file many personal injury lawsuits, but exceptions may apply, particularly when a public entity is involved or the injured person is a child. Seeking legal guidance early can help families identify the appropriate claims process and deadlines.
