Outcome: 4 Injured

Four children were injured on a school bus Friday afternoon on State Highway 9 in Snohomish County.

According to a Bellevue School District spokeswoman, the four children from Medina Elementary were taken to a Kirkland Hospital as a precaution after they complained of headaches.

The children were on their way back to school after a field trip to a pumpkin patch when a tractor-trailer rig collided with the Bellevue school bus.

According to National Car Accident Statistics, each year almost 250,000 children are injured in car crashes, meaning nearly 700 children are harmed every day.

In Washington, a minor cannot file a lawsuit on their own. A suit can only be filed by a guardian appointed by the court, who they believe will have the child's best interest in mind and do what is right for the child. If you know a child who has been injured in an accident, it may be in your best interest to consult with an experienced Seattle child injury lawyer.
