Horry County Schools secured a settlement after months of talks in a lawsuit filed by the guardians of an eight‑year‑old girl.

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

The lawsuit asserted that the driver did not observe required safety rules.

Both parties consented to the deal, but the terms remained private.

The accident occurred on a county school bus in the area.

The family filed the case subsequent to the accident.

No further details were shared.
