Bus Accidents in New York
New York experiences more bus accidents every year than many other states within the U.S. Though bus accidents do not happen as commonly as many other accidents, they can be incredibly severe when they do occur. This is due to the fact that buses are some of the largest vehicles that navigate our roads, which means that lives are at risk when these accidents occur. Because buses are considered to be common carriers, drivers must be as safe as possible when they are operating these vehicles. If you have been hurt in a New York bus crash, you should speak with an attorney that you can trust.
Speaking with a New York car accident attorney who has handled bus accident claims in the past is one of the best decisions that you can make. You will likely have questions that you cannot answer on your own following a collision. For instance, what types of evidence will you need to prove that another party is at fault for your accident? What deadlines will you need to meet to successfully bring a claim? Will your case be settled or will it make it all the way to trial? These are questions that you can answer when you speak with a dedicated accident attorney.
