The parents of La’Derion Miller have separately filed lawsuits for the death of their son.  The 6 year-old kindergartener was tragically killed just over two months ago as he was trying to get on the bus to go to school.

Le’Derion was waiting at the bus stop with a young relative one morning before school. As he attempted to enter the school bus, the door shut and his jacket became caught in the door. He was dragged 80 feet before the bus driver noticed and stopped the bus.

Among the allegations the lawsuit states that the driver’s faults  were distractedness and inattentiveness, failure to follow safety guidelines, failing to maintain a line of sight, traveling at an unsafe speed and “not possessing the proper visual acuity and reaction time required of a school bus driver.”

The school board is accused of failing to require safety training programs about the loading and unloading of school bus passengers, failing to closely monitor school bus drivers for unsafe health issues and employing “a bus driver with visual acuity and reaction time deficits.”
