NYC Bus Accident Lawyer

Bus Accident Attorney in New York City

As a passenger on a bus, you expect the driver to be skilled and well-trained in his or her job. You don’t expect negligent or dangerous behavior that could result in an injury or injuries to you or to any of your fellow passengers. New York City has an extremely extensive public transportation system that services millions of people every day. Sometimes accidents involving buses and pedestrians, objects or other vehicles occur. When they do, many people can suffer serious injuries.

There are several different ways in which you can become a victim of a bus injury. You could be a passenger on the bus when the bus collides with an object or vehicle, you could be a pedestrian hit by a bus or you could be the driver/passenger of a car hit by a bus.

Buses weigh tens of thousands of pounds and contain little to no restraints, many metallic and hard plastic fixtures, glass windows and mirrors and many other dangerous parts that could contribute to injuries.

The New York Transit Authority must receive your injury claim within a certain number of days after the accident occurred. Many times, you could be too wrapped up in your injuries to remember or even be aware of the fact that you need to somehow guarantee that your future medical bills and other bills are covered during the time of your rehabilitation until you can work again – or more importantly, if you know that you will never be able to continue your current occupation, you need to ensure that you and your family are provided for in an appropriate manner.

With the help of a New York City bus accident attorney at our firm, you can get on the right track to recovering compensation for your injuries. Depending upon your circumstances, you could file a claim with Transit Authority and also file a civil lawsuit in order to recover compensation for non-economic losses such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
