Information for Bus Accident Victims

Because bus accidents often involve government entities such as the City of NY, MTA or NYCTA, bus accident litigation can be difficult to navigate. In bus accidents, multiple victims and potentially liable parties can be involved. Easing the litigation process is a great reason to work with a seasoned lawyer.

Legal Considerations for Bus Accidents

There are many important distinctions to consider when evaluating a potential bus accident lawsuit. There are multiple types of buses, each with different legal standards than others. For example, a school bus accident might be handled differently than a public transit or private charter bus accident. With respect to NYCTA and MTA buses, a Notice of Claim must be filed with the City of New York within 90 days of the accident.

A bus accident lawyer can help to inform you of your legal options, explaining the nuances for each situation that applies to your unique case. Your legal representative plays a role in protecting and defending your rights against liable parties and their representatives. Your lawyer will consider how to negotiate for a fair settlement on your behalf, considering all of the injuries and losses you sustained and suffered.

Obtaining Evidence

Your lawyer will want to collect witness statements, police reports, and expert testimony in order to hold liable parties accountable for your injuries after a Bed-Stuy bus accident. Whether your accident involves bad-faith insurance adjusters or negligent drivers, a Bedford-Stuyvesant bus accident lawyer will help you fight for pecuniary compensation. In particular, your lawyer will want to obtain evidence that may include, but not necessarily limited to, the following:

  • Proof of Negligence: Buses are designed with many safety features, but human error and negligence contribute to the risk of accidents. This may be due to inexperience or more complicated offenses like drunk driving or impaired driving or distracted driving.
  • Mechanical Problems: Mechanical issues can be a significant issue on older buses as well. Bad brakes, steering mechanisms, over-weight loads and improperly distributed cargo can all play a role in the mechanical safety standards of buses.
  • Multiple Drivers: Bus accidents can involve other drivers on the road, the bus driver and even the bus company which can complicate matters.
  • Workplace Problems: A public entity like the Transit Authority can be held liable for certain events, such as placing improperly trained employees on the job, failing to properly background check employees, and even not ensuring the routine maintenance of buses.

To properly handle your case, your attorney will work diligently to represent your interests throughout the entire legal process. Having an experienced legal representative working on your behalf can be helpful in dealing with the powerful companies that have a financial interest in denying your settlement. Your lawyer might present a case that works with the facts of your situation to prepare an argument.
