New York Private Bus Accident

If you have been injured because of driver on a private bus was not managing the vehicle appropriately or if you have lost a loved one because of a driver's negligence, you need to consult with a New York private bus accident attorney as soon as possible. If you are traveling through New York City on a tour bus when recklessness causes an accident, or perhaps you are concerned about your child visiting on a charter bus who is critically injured in a wreck, you need to fight for full and fair compensation for your injuries.

If another party's negligence and especially the driver of the private bus is responsible for the injuries you have sustained, you have a limited period of time in which you should take action to protect your rights to pursue an injury claim. Without taking prompt action by hiring a knowledgeable New York private bus accident lawyer, you may expose yourself to a life of paying for very expensive medical treatments because another person simply wasn't paying attention. There are many different types of private and public buses that run throughout the state of New York that could be involved in an accident.

When you can show that is was a driver's negligence, you may have grounds against multiple parties. For example, the employer of that driver may be held responsible in a legal claim. In addition, the manufacturer of any defective vehicle parts could also be named in your injury claim. Because of these complex issues involved, you need to initiate an investigation into the private bus accident as soon as possible.

A private bus accident lawyer in New York should have extensive experience reviewing the scene of the accident and reconstructing it if necessary to prepare you for the recovery of maximum compensation. Without an attorney at your side it is easy to get overwhelmed by the process and to struggle to get the compensation you need. Whether it was an adult care bus, a tour bus, a church bus, a daycare bus, an MTA bus, or a coach bus such as Peter Pan, Greyhound, Coach USA, or Bolt bus, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim when a driver's negligence was involved. Consulting with an injury attorney who has managed claims like this before will assist you in identifying who could be held responsible including the bus operator, the bus manufacturer, other vehicle drivers, state, city and government entities or the management company.

Local or state governments and private corporations who own and operate the bus will work their own defense lawyers to do everything possible to avoid being classified as legally responsible for your injuries. If you have been involved in a bus accident already, it is best to consult with lawyer who is highly skilled in litigating private bus accident cases in New York. Sadly, the number of buses involved in New York motor vehicle collisions has been on the rise in recent years. A lot of this has to do with improper training on the part of the bus management company or distracted driving. The same rules of the road apply to a private bus driver and when he or she is not paying attention or otherwise engaged in dangerous behavior, you may be able to pursue an injury claim with the help of a lawyer. You may not realize your rights immediately after such an accident and you may even wake up in the hospital trying to figure out what happened. If you find yourself in this situation, it is vital that you protect yourself and your legal rights by getting appropriate medical diagnoses and attention and then consulting with an injury attorney.

Only an injury lawyer can tell you more about what is involved in filing a claim and whether or not the severe injuries you have sustained will enable you to pursue a comprehensive recovery. Do not wait to take action however, as you need to mount a case against these private bus companies immediately if you want to stand a chance of recovering maximum compensation.

When my mom, who is suffering from dementia, faced a slip and fall personal injury lawsuit, I contacted Stephen Bilkis of the Law Offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates. Not only did he provide a strategy for defending the claim, he also advised me on steps to take to avoid future personal liability. Whether you are the defendant or plaintiff in an injury case, I highly recommend Mr. Bilkis. S.M.
★★★★★
From the very first phone call to Stephen Bilkis' office, the staff was extremely polite and helpful in assisting me. Mr. Bilkis was honest and upfront with me from the beginning in what he projected the outcome of my case would be; in the end we got better results than either of us anticipated. He was very genuine and compassionate in understanding my situation and how this legal matter could effect not only myself but my family as well. I highly recommend this law firm and will most definitely continue using them for any future legal needs. Jarrett

I had my first encounter with Mr. Stephen Bilkis three years ago over the phone. He and his staff have been nothing but courtesy and professional. Their hard work ended with a large six-figure settlement for my case. I would highly recommend you contact his office. I want to give a special THANK YOU to Ms. Tricia Krapf. She always made me feel like a priority and was always kind and professional over the phone and email. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation. Celesta
