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

The child’s arm was pinched in a school bus door some time ago.

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

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

The accident took place on a county school bus in the area.

The family filed the case following the incident.

No further details were shared.
