Bus Accidents • Bus Injury • Train and Subway Injury
Roura & Melamed has helped clients injured in scenarios involving both public transportation vehicles and private buses and shuttles:
- Bus passengers injured in crashes
- Drivers injured in bus or train collisions
- Pedestrians and bicyclists hit by buses
- Trip and falls at bus stops and platforms
- Falling injuries while riding a bus, train or subway
A bus turning a corner clipped a car, flipping the bus on its side. Our client suffered serious injuries, including fractures in both knees. We sued the bus company, demonstrated that the bus driver was negligent and recovered damages for medical care, pain and suffering, and lost earnings during the long rehabilitation.
We have sued the New York Port Authority, Long Island Railroad (LIRR) and Metro North. There is a 90-day deadline from the date of your injury to notify these entities of a pending lawsuit. We have also brought claims against Amtrak, which has a similar time limit, as well as private carriers. Related claims may involve the City of New York or the owner of a curb for sidewalk defects or disrepair contributing to a bus injury.
