If you've been injured in a car crash, it's important to get medical attention right away. Delaying care not only puts your health at risk, but could hurt a potential insurance claim or lawsuit.

Driving around metro Atlanta is dangerous enough. But when a school bus is involved, it can be even more challenging. Georgia law shields school buses, and the school systems they drive for, up to the amount of purchased liability insurance. The average school buses weigh 24,387 pounds, whereas the typical American car weighs 4,094 pounds. Georgia drivers share the road with buses six times their weight, without any minimum amount of liability coverage. [ 53 more words ] https://markslawgroup.com/school-bus-insurance-limits-hurt/

Under a legal concept called premises liability, property owners have a duty to keep their property reasonably free of hazards.
