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

National School Bus Loading and Unloading Surveys

These national surveys provide an account of children, which ride school buses, and are killed by either their own school bus or a passing motorist while loading or unloading the school bus
