Countless individuals take public transportation in New York City, including Transit Authority buses. No one ever steps onto a bus expecting to be involved in a serious accident, but unfortunately, bus accidents are all too common in the busy city.

Drivers of cars, taxis and other vehicles who are reluctant to yield to buses cause a number of collisions. Bus drivers can also cause accidents due to inattentive or reckless operation of the vehicle. Anyone who has suffered serious injuries because of a public bus, school bus or tour bus accident can file a claim with the help of a personal injury lawyer from Jaroslawicz & Jaros.

If a bus or other public transportation vehicle caused the accident that resulted in your injuries, in order to obtain compensation, you must submit a Notice of Claim form with the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) within 90 days of the accident. This can be a quick and effective procedure, but only if it is performed correctly. Most people are unaware of the correct procedure for filing a claim and, as a result, many forfeit their right to compensation.

Consult with our personal injury attorneys in New York City as soon as possible after a bus accident so that they can file your claim with the NYCTA within the required 90 days after your accident.
