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
  • Trams

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. For example, while airplanes and helicopters are statistically safer than many other forms of transportation, accidents that occur in the skies have a higher chance of fatalities for their passengers.

Common types of catastrophic injuries in public transportation accidents include:

  • Broken bones
  • Burns
  • Concussions
  • Deep cuts, lacerations, and scars
  • Disfigurement and deformity
  • Emotional distress, such as anxiety or depression
  • Head, neck, and back injuries
  • Internal bleeding, soft tissue damage, and organ failure
  • Loss of limbs
  • Loss of sight, hearing, or speech
  • New forms of disability or medical conditions
  • Partial or complete paralysis
  • Seizures
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Wrongful death

If you’ve been hurt or have lost a loved one in an accident, contact the attorneys at Greenspan & Greenspan to discuss your case. You may be entitled to receive large settlements which could go towards paying off outstanding medical bills, any lost wages, decreased earning potential, and any physical or mental pain and suffering.

How can Lawyers Hold the Responsible Parties Accountable?

Though you naturally have the legal right to seek compensation and attempt to hold any at-fault parties accountable for their role in the accident, executing such a plan can be complex and overwhelming, especially when you are still recovering from your serious injuries.

When you hire the lawyers of Greenspan & Greenspan, we will take over the heaviest burdens of your case, such as contacting the insurance company, gathering evidence from the scene of the accident, reviewing police reports, examining medical records, and finding witnesses with useful information to the case.

Our law firm has a formidable reputation for providing dedicated legal representation to our clients that is half a century in the making. We are familiar with the unique New York laws and regulations and believe we are well-suited to help you towards the most satisfying conclusion for you and your case.
