Whether you drive a school bus, a city bus, or a party bus, there are many accidents and injuries that bus drivers can sustain throughout the course of their daily work routine. This article is focused on the on-the-job injuries that can impact bus drivers in Minnesota. We will discuss a few of the most common injuries, and the steps you can take after such an injury.
Common Bus Driver Work Injuries

- Whiplash
- Concussions & Other Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Slip & Fall Accidents in the aisles of the bus
