What Are Some Different Types of Bus Accidents?

Every bus accident case is unique. The details surrounding the case are important when it comes to seeking fair financial compensation for an East Village bus accident. The type of bus is important because this will determine the owner of the bus and the party that is financially responsible for the crash.

  • Public buses
  • City buses

We have the legal experience to take on any type of bus accident case in New York City, whether it was caused by a negligent bus driver or some other type of negligence.

We will also help you determine liability and pursue fair financial compensation from one or more parties based on the facts of the case.

Common Injuries Suffered in East Village Bus Accidents

A bus accident can easily cause life-changing or catastrophic injuries for both the passengers on the bus and those outside of the bus. From inside a bus, an accident can be particularly harmful due to a lack of seat belts. No seat belts can mean passengers are thrown about inside of the bus upon impact, increasing the risk of serious injuries. From outside of the bus, other drivers – as well as bicyclists and pedestrians – can suffer the worst of the injuries due to the immense size and weight of the average bus.

At Michael J. Redenburg, Esq. PC, our East Village, NYC bus accident lawyers can help if you’ve been diagnosed with any type of injury after a wreck, including:

  • Bone fracture
  • Soft-tissue injury
  • Muscle or ligament damage
  • Whiplash
  • Spinal cord injury or paralysis
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Internal damage
  • Lacerations
  • Scarring or disfigurement
  • Burn injury
  • Amputation

We can help you find the right doctor for your injury or medical condition after a bus accident in NYC. Then, we can bring a claim against one or more parties on your behalf to pursue maximum financial compensation for your injuries.

What Causes Bus Accidents?

If you get injured in a bus accident, you or your lawyer must determine the cause of the crash. As the driver of another vehicle, you will need to establish that the bus driver or company is responsible for the accident to recover compensation. As a passenger, you often will not need to prove negligence to qualify for coverage from the bus company’s insurer.

How Much is an East Village Bus Accident Case Worth?

At Michael J. Redenburg, Esq. PC, we know that no amount of money is enough to make up for a serious or life-threatening injury from a bus accident in New York City. If the accident could have been prevented, however, filing a lawsuit and pursuing compensation can hold a negligent party responsible – giving you and your family a measure of justice and closure after this traumatic event. A lawsuit can also result in safety changes on an institutional level in your city, such as the City of New York, or New York City Transit Authority reevaluating the safety of its buses and drivers.

Our lawyers have also seen first-hand how a fair settlement or judgment award can improve a family’s overall ability to recover after a devastating accident. Obtaining the compensation that you deserve can allow you to pay for necessary medical bills far into the future. It can also pay to repair your vehicle if you weren’t a passenger on the bus. Other compensable damages in a bus accident case can include lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, wrongful death damages, and punitive damages.
