School Bus Accidents

The Louisiana State Bar Association’s (LSBA) 2014-15 officers and members of the Board of Governors were installed June 5, in conjunction with the LSBA’s Annual Meeting in Destin, Fla.

Lafayette lawyer, Blake R. David, was installed by Louisiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Bernette Johnson as the Third District Member of LSBA’s Board of Governors. The Board of Governors is comprised of 22 volunteer leaders who are charged with fiscal responsibility for the LSBA and with administration of the affairs of the Association. The LSBA assists more than 22,000 members in the practice of law.

Blake R. David was raised in Lafayette and is a founding partner of Broussard, David & Moroux. Mr. David focuses on personal injury and wrongful death litigation with an emphasis on offshore/maritime, trucking accident, aviation, products liability, industrial accident, and automobile claims.

Ten children riding in a school bus suffered minor injuries when an SUV collided with the vehicle. The SUV driver, who was cited for improper starting, was attempting to cross South Broad Street in New Orleans when it struck the school bus, which was transporting the children home from Lafayette Academy. The school bus driver suffered a neck injury and was transported to the hospital in moderate condition.

Only a day later, a motorist speeding on a one-way street in New Orleans struck a school bus carrying eight high school students. The drivers and the students were transported to the hospital after complaining of non-threatening neck and back injuries. The motorist was cited for traveling on a one-way street and reckless operation.
