NYC Bus Accident Lawyer

NYC Bus Accident Lawyer

Tour buses, city buses, school buses, commuter buses, and charter buses regularly travel throughout the New York City metro area. While most trips are without incident, bus accidents can and do happen. In recent years, there have been numerous high-profile bus crashes.

Recently, a bus driving back from Connecticut's Foxwoods Casino to Queens crashed in New Rochelle. Two dozen passengers sustained severe injuries.

In 2011, a bus heading back from Foxwoods crashed in the Bronx, killing 15 people and injuring many more. According to reports, the bus driver in this accident allegedly was speeding and had not slept outside of naps for three days before the accident.

While most bus accidents do not receive this level of publicity, passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers are seriously injured in private and public bus accidents all the time.
