The child’s arm was trapped in a school bus door several years ago.

The lawsuit alleged that the driver failed to follow required safety rules.

Both parties consented to the deal, but the terms were kept confidential.

The accident took place on a county school bus regionally.

The family filed the case following the incident.

No further details were shared.
