In most of the United States, owning an automobile is mandatory. 

New York City is not like most of the United States. Our boroughs are densely populated. People live very close to numerous outlets for goods and services. 

As a result, car ownership is optional for many of us. The majority of New Yorkers rely on mass transit to travel to work, school, and other locations. 

Although mass transit is generally a safe way to travel, accidents do happen while riding the bus, the subway, a taxi, or other forms of transport. These accidents can lead to major, life-changing injuries.

There are a host of unique issues in an MTA accident today. For example, accidents involving the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) have short time limits in which an injured person can make a Notice of Claim. 

Taxi accidents typically involve specific insurance issues. Our bus accident lawyers for mass transit accidents have an intimate understanding of these issues. We will dedicate ourselves to helping you seek all available sources of compensation for your injuries.

Who’s Liable for My Injuries from a Bus Accident?

Bus Drivers

You may hold bus drivers personally accountable for injuries if they are found negligent in any way and caused the accident. The main causes of accidents by bus drivers are:

• Poor training
• Driving while distracted
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and
• Those who knowingly commit traffic violations

Bus Companies

You might also hold the bus company responsible for your bus accident and injuries. 

Bus companies are responsible for hiring and training their employees so they become qualified bus drivers. Also, they are responsible for the buses they use. Buses should be safe to operate, are inspected regularly, and repaired if necessary.

Bus Manufacturers

Bus manufacturers are responsible to sell products that are safe to use and are installed with safety equipment. You may hold the bus manufacturer accountable for your injuries if defects in their product caused your bus accident.

Other Negligent Parties

Bus companies and bus drivers aren’t always responsible for MTA accidents. Other contributors to bus accidents in New York are:

• Other drivers
• Pedestrians and 
• Bicyclists 

New York has a comparative negligence law, which allows those injured in a bus accident to recover damages from anyone who shares fault.

We are Well-versed in Local, Federal, and State Laws

Filing a claim for rightful compensation in government-owned and operated buses have shorter deadlines than filing with other insurance companies. We are highly experienced in local, federal, and state laws regarding bus accidents. And we make sure you don’t miss the allocated deadline.

Most insurance companies, whether government or not, may want to save money by trying to minimize or completely deny a legitimate claim. We strongly advise that you must not sign anything offered by insurance companies without consulting an attorney.

• Reduced earning capacity
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages and income

We have relationships with some of the best injury and bus accident experts in the tri-state area. They can provide extremely useful information as we investigate and build your case. Their help allows us to better understand your injuries as well as how much your case is worth.
