A SCHOOL BUS RIDE GONE WRONG BLF Joins Forces to Hold Negligent School Bus Company Accountable
Think about the school bus rides of your youth. What did you do to pass the time? Maybe you gossiped with your friends, read a book, listened to music on your now-ancient casette tape, or played a fortune-telling game like MASH. You probably didn’t sit silently with your heart pounding and muscles clenched in terror. Unfortunately, some kids have that awful experience. BLF just represented a child — we’ll call him Caleb — who is deeply afraid to ride the bus because he was traumatized on board. His usual bus ride became a nightmare when two other kids snuck into the seat behind him and brutally beat him with their fists. Caleb screamed for help, but the bus driver barely acknowledged his pleas. Instead of pulling over or separating the
three children, she half-heartedly asked them to stop. They didn’t. When Caleb got home that night, he was so shaken that he begged his parents not to make him go back to school. Caleb’s story broke our hearts because it should have been prevented. If the bus driver had been well trained and enforced the rules of the bus, Caleb would never have been injured. When our team heard about his trauma, we joined forces with attorney Scott Snellings of Snellings Law in Frisco to hold the school bus organization and its insurance company accountable. We’ve worked with Scott on several high-profile personal injury cases, ranging from dog bite incidents to amusement park accidents. He always throws himself completely into his work to ensure we
get the best outcome for our clients, and Caleb’s case was no exception!
Working together, we showed the bus company exactly where their driver went wrong and successfully secured a settlement for Caleb and his family. Despite the sad circumstances, we are grateful to research and litigate side- by-side with Scott and his team. We’re looking forward to many more years of helping clients together.

CLIENT REVIEW
“When my toddler was seriously injured and neglected at her former childcare last summer, I was heartbroken, lost and distraught, and knew I needed to take the proper legal steps to be able to hold them accountable! I searched online for legal advice and thank God I was able to come across The Button Law Firm. From my first initial call, Jacky listened and was very sympathetic to what my family was going through. She always checked in with updates and even if there were none at the time she still reached out to check on my baby girl. The attention and professionalism, shown from Russell and his team ensures me that I made the right decision and trusting them to handle our case.”
