KNOW YOUR NUMBERS

 

The cost of one student injury from a school bus incident:

👉 Minimum settlement: $100,000.00

 

The cost of installing one Gardian Angel safety lighting system:

👉 Starting at just: $159.00

 

What that really means:

 

For the cost of one injury settlement, you could install Gardian Angel lighting on 628 school buses.

 

Most school buses can transport up to 66 students.

628 buses × 66 students = 41,448 children protected.

💡 Think about that:

 

Protecting 41,448 lives costs the same as reacting to one accident.

 

Let’s be proactive. Let’s save lives before tragedies happen.

This Isn’t a Hypothetical. It’s Already Happening.

 

We estimated low. Many settlements for school bus pedestrian injuries cost far more:

         •           ✅ A district pays $160,000 for a student injury

         •           ✅ Orange Unified School District pays a $10 million settlement after a student fatality

 

And that’s just the financial cost. The human toll is immeasurable.

📊 The Data Doesn’t Lie

 

Every year, children are killed by either their own school bus or passing motorists during loading and unloading.

 

We’ve compiled over 50 years of Loading & Unloading Fatality Surveys to make this real. These are not just numbers — these are names, families, and futures.
