We Did Our Homework So You Don’t Have To
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.
• National School Bus Loading and Unloading Survey (year-by-year breakdown)
• Accumulative Fatality Reports
