I first met Mr. Bill Ferro shortly after my accident. He was very direct with me and told me that my case was complex and would take time, but that he would do the best he could. Throughout the entire case his team was like a big brother standing up to the bad guys for me. This meant everything to me, I could never fight the insurance lawyers alone. The outcome of my case was everything I was originally told and more. FKM/Liga De Justicia Injury Lawyers exceeded my expectations of what I thought a law firm would do for a client. I would recommend this firm with the knowledge that you will be treated like I was treated.

The MTA’s Insurance Carrier May Try to Deny Your Claim

(Expenses and Losses You Can Recover)

Now, more than ever, you need an experienced attorney by your side.

The MTA’s insurance company could block your compensation on a technicality. For example, if you don’t adhere to the treatment needed to heal from your sustained injuries.

Lost wages
Out-of-pocket expenses
Pain and suffering
Disability
Loss of quality of life
Loss of earning capacity
Wrongful death expenses
Nursing home costs
Assistive devices, including crutches, prosthetics, and wheelchairs
Permanent disfigurement or scarring

Since many bus accident injuries are quite severe, we must estimate your future medical expenses. Our law firm has the means to engage respected financial and medical professionals to this effect. And we will make sure these costs are covered.

Act Fast: You Have Just 90 Days to File a Claim Against the MTA

⚠️ The deadline set by the NY statute of limitations for MTA Public Transportation accidents is only 90 days—far shorter than standard personal injury lawsuits.

Even if you are still recovering from your injuries, give us a call. We can begin working on your claim right away.

Don’t lose the right to seek compensation for your accident-related losses. Or these will become your financial responsibility.

How Our Bus Accident Lawyers Build a Winning Case

Many bus companies are cutting corners to preserve the bottom line. This decision diminishes the measures necessary to prevent New York bus accidents and to protect passengers and innocent bystanders.

The available evidence will depend on the circumstances of the case and the type of bus involved in the accident.

Our seasoned New York bus accident lawyers fight aggressively to obtain key pieces of evidence, including:

📌 The MTA bus’s “black-box” data, which records their entire fleet’s key accident details

📌 Safety and maintenance records for the vehicle involved

📌 The driver’s training history, driving habits and past driving violations

We will prove that:

✔︎ The bus operator owed you a duty of care

✔︎ They breached said duty of care through negligence

✔︎ Their negligent acts directly caused your injuries

Some of the Damages Sought by our New York Bus Accident Lawyers

If you were injured in a New York bus accident, it is important to understand the situation you are in.

Furthermore, you should know the extent of your damages before pursuing a claim or accepting a settlement.

The MTA’s insurance company may approach you and lowball you. They will ask you to quickly settle your personal injury claim for a low amount.

Do not accept that offer. Their adjuster has to offer you financial compensation that matches your damages’ toll.

You could have sustained severe injuries even if the accident was minor.

For example, a traumatic brain injury, broken bones, head trauma, and spinal cord damage. Or you may have to undergo extensive and expensive surgeries.

If it permanently affected your quality of life, our lawyers can seek compensation for long-term care expenses. We can even recover for pain and suffering.

Have a consultation with our seasoned bus attorneys first. We are committed to getting you the money you are entitled to for your injuries.

Always seek medical treatment after the accident.

Common Causes of Bus Accidents

These are the most common causes of bus accidents in New York. You may recognize some of them, and you know they have disaster written all over them.

Blind Spots

The larger the bus, the bigger the blind spot. Most people are unaware of their existence and might be standing right behind the MTA buses. So, the bus driver may not see the pedestrian or the motorcycle so close to the rear bumper and strike them.

There is also a blind spot immediately below and in front of each bus mirror.

Does the driver know if every passenger has climbed onto the bus?

Inexperienced Drivers

These drivers may hold a commercial license, but they may not be experienced drivers. There is no amount of training that can fully prepare them for driving a bus on city streets.

The MTA may fail to properly vet or train them. They may not have checked the conductor for misdemeanors such as previous traffic violations.

The frequent stops, uneven pavement, slippery conditions can compromise both pedestrians and passenger’s safety.

Distracted Driving and Negligent Behavior

Perhaps the driver is not on their cell. But they are engaged in a conversation with a passenger.

Maybe they don’t notice if all the passengers got off the bus.

Or they may be following too close and sometimes, speeding.

Distracted bus drivers can cause catastrophic accidents.

Left Turns

MTA buses must be careful when making a left turn at a busy city intersection. They must ensure that they do not collide with any vehicles in the left lane. MTA buses making wide left turns at busy intersections pose a serious risk to pedestrians and vehicles.

As your New York bus accident attorneys, we must establish negligence to file a successful injury claim. And identifying the cause of the crash could point to reckless behavior that directly lead to the bus accident.

A left turn. A blind spot. And pedestrians crossing the streets. A dangerous combination.
