More details to this question:
I took her to urgent care bumps and bruises. Called school next day they stated they knew but was going to send out letters because they was told it was a minor accodent and that they sent out another bus to take kids home. I am very frustrated at how this manner was handled I feel the accident was bad enough to transfer to another bus who to say it was minor. What kind of attorney do I need? Do I have a case? This is my 2nd child and 2 different bus companies and 2 different schools that did this all this week.

if your daughter was injured in this accident, you can make an injury claim in her behalf. Since this would be a claim against a municipality, you must file notice of the claim within 120 days of the occurrence, or the claim would be forever barred. I urge you to consider hiring a personal injury lawyer of your choice to pursue the case for her and to avoid many of the technical pitfalls and time deadlines under the claim statute when suing a governmental entity in Wisconsin.
