For many New Yorkers, bus travel is part of their everyday routine. But sometimes, careless or negligent behavior by bus drivers and bus authority owners causes accidents. Passengers and others injured in bus accidents are eligible to file a no-fault insurance claim to secure reimbursement for their medical bills and lost wages and to bring a lawsuit to recover damages for pain and suffering.
Because most of the transit buses in New York are owned and operated by a governmental body, strict and timely filing requirements apply. It is critical to secure the services of an attorney as soon as possible following an accident so that the necessary written claim is filed. Filing too late can be fatal to a claim.
At TROLMAN GLASER CORLEY & LICHTMAN, P.C., we assist people who have been injured in bus accidents and have lost loved ones in fatal accidents. We will stand up for your rights and assist you in filing a claim to recover the monetary compensation you deserve.
HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED WHILE RIDING A CITY BUS OR PRIVATE TOUR BUS?
The Metropolitan Transit Authority and private tour bus companies throughout New York are responsible for keeping their passengers safe. While the overwhelming majority of bus drivers are careful, it only takes one careless driver to put innocent passengers at risk. Speeding or driving carelessly, while fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol can lead to serious injuries and even death. Injuries are sustained while boarding buses, riding buses, stepping on or off buses, while waiting at a bus stop, and even when crossing in front of a bus.
