My son was hit and killed by school bus, what kind of lawyer do I need

I am sorry for your loss. You need a personal injury lawyer, preferably one who has experience litigating cases involving similar types of claims. If you would like to shop around, you can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.  Click here and here for more information about me. Finally, if you have already found an attorney, you should recommend that they retain an expert in bus safety. In my opinion, the expert to go to in these kinds of cases is Ned Einstein, of Transportation Alternatives. Click here for information about Ned.  He is a very knowledgable guy, and it helps to work with him right at the outset of a case because he provides important consultation services during the discovery process in a lawsuit.  Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
