If your child was injured badly on the bus and you can't find out what happened, because they have some memory loss from the event, you want to talk with an injury lawyer. If you think that your child was the victim of an attack and something happened that they hit their head and have a severe injury, you don't want to communicate with the school or the transportation department, you'll instead want to let your lawyer manage that. Here are some of the things to have ready for the lawyer.

If you can show that you have had emails, phone conversations, and met with school personal in the past, this shows that this situation maybe could have been prevented. Bring all of this information for the lawyer to go through.
