Bus Accidents Are Complex And Often Catastrophic

With its dense traffic, crowded intersections, and sprawling transit system, Queens sees its fair share of bus accidents. Whether you were a pedestrian hit by an MTA vehicle, a passenger injured in a crash, or a driver struck by a charter bus, New York law gives you the right to pursue compensation if negligence played a role. But going up against transit agencies or private carriers is no easy task. These are powerful defendants protected by legal teams and insurance companies determined to pay as little as possible. That’s why injured victims across Queens turn to Michael S. Lamonsoff to level the playing field. Our firm has built a powerful reputation representing clients hurt in MTA and bus-related incidents throughout the borough. We move fast, investigate thoroughly, and litigate aggressively. If you’ve been hurt, we’re ready to fight for you.

Types of Bus Accidents in Queens

Buses travel through nearly every neighborhood in Queens and with that comes risk. We represent clients injured in:

  • MTA bus collisions with cars or pedestrians
  • Passenger injuries due to sudden stops or swerving
  • Crashes involving school buses or shuttle vans
  • Charter and tour bus accidents
  • Incidents at bus terminals or depots

From Woodhaven to Flushing, if a bus caused your injury, we’re ready to act.

Common Injuries Caused by Bus Accidents

The size and weight of buses often lead to severe trauma when accidents happen. We frequently handle injuries such as:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Severe orthopedic injuries
  • Psychological trauma including PTSD

These are not fender benders. They’re life-changing events — and we build cases to reflect that.

What Damages Can You Recover?

Victims of bus accidents may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Emergency room and hospital care
  • Ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and future earnings
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disability or impairment
  • Emotional distress and psychological counseling

We don’t just fight for compensation; we fight for your future.

Act Quickly: Bus Accident Claims Are Time-Sensitive

If your claim involves a city bus or public agency, New York law requires that you file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident. Waiting too long can forfeit your right to recover damages. For privately operated buses, the general statute of limitations is three years, but early action still matters.
