Public Transportation Accidents Lawyers in New City, NY: We Provide Compassionate Legal Services to Accident Victims Looking to Make a Claim

Many New Yorkers rely upon public transportation to get them where they need to go on a daily basis. In New York City, the number of people who use public transportation is even higher, with more than 50% of NYC residents using public transportation instead of owning and driving their own cars.

It makes sense then that there would be many public transportation accidents in New York, just based on the number of people who use it as their primary form of transportation.

If you’ve been injured in a public transportation accident, our law firm can assist you as you seek to recover compensation. Similarly, if you lost a loved one in such an accident, our lawyers would provide legal services to help you file a wrongful death claim, in hopes of recovering a settlement on your deceased loved one’s behalf.

To learn more about your legal options, please contact our New City, NY, law office without further delay. We offer a free initial consultation to all new clients with a potential accident claim.

What Types of Public Transportation Cases Does our Law Firm Represent?

New York has no shortage of options for residents and tourists alike in need of public transportation. Some of these choices are a matter of cost or need, while others may be more related to personal preference.

New York’s most common and popular types of public transportation include:

• Airplanes
• Buses
• Ferries
• Helicopters
• Railways
• Rideshares
• Shuttle vans
• Subways
• Taxis

Whether you were in a taxicab collision, or your commuter train derailed, or a city bus hit your car, you must be aware of your legal rights as you pursue compensation for your injuries. All of these accidents are unfortunate, but most could have been prevented with proper maintenance, rested operators, and proper training. It is important that responsible parties are held accountable so that, hopefully, fewer public transportation accidents happen in the future.

Which Serious Injuries are Common in Public Transportation Accidents?

The types of injury you might suffer in a public transportation accident may differ based on just what form of transportation you elect to use.

• Broken bones
• Burns
• Concussions
• Deep cuts, lacerations, and scars
