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.
