Blackburn v. Boise School Bus Co.

DONALDSON, Chief Justice.

This action was commenced by plaintiff-appellant Joe Blackburn, as guardian ad litem, to recover for personal injuries sustained by Ramona Blackburn while she was riding in a Boise school bus. At the time of the accident, Ramona was seated on the rear seat of the bus. The rear wheels of the bus encountered a “severe bump” (so termed by the driver), and Ramona and at least two other children were thrown up to the ceiling of the bus. Ramona came down, hit her mouth on the metal railing of the seat in front of her, and sustained severe injury to her teeth.
