There Is a Right Way to Load Passengers Onto a Group Home Bus
There are clear regulations regarding the proper method of loading and restraining residents of a group home on a transportation bus. Passengers in wheelchairs must be securely restrained to prevent rolling during movement or sudden stops. Ambulatory passengers must enter and exit the vehicle under close supervision and must be restrained at all times during transport. Every year, thousands of group home residents are injured during transportation to and from their place of employment or other group outings.
Free Consultation · No Attorneys Fees Unless You Recover Compensation
If your child or adult ward was injured during transport or because of improper restraining techniques, talk to an attorney at the personal injury law firm of Humphrey, Farrington & McClain in Independence, Missouri. We provide a free consultation to discuss the evidence in your case. If we accept your case, we will start an immediate investigation into the accident and injury. If we determine that management policies or group home staff members share liability for the injuries, we will fight aggressively to recover maximum money damages for medical care, emotional distress and punitive damages. Unfortunately, it often takes a significant settlement or jury award to force group home owners and managers to adequately safeguard residents.
Our attorneys have recovered over $800 million in settlements and verdicts on behalf of victims of negligence and misconduct since 1984. We are recognized nationally for our direct, intelligent approach to investigating and presenting evidence that leaves no doubt about liability for compensation.
We represent clients and their families in all group home and PCA negligence claims, including:
- Injuries from improper restraint during transportation
- Endangerment of a minor or adult under guardianship
