The relative rarity of bus accidents in NYC will come as little consolation to victims. Firms such as Auto Accident Law Group are signaling new opportunities to challenge liable transit agencies - with substantial compensatory figures at stake.
-- With more than a million daily riders, the New York City bus system connects local residents and tourists alike as they commute and travel in the bustling Big Apple. Yet, with large groups of people packed inside, the potential for mass injuries only increases when buses are involved in accidents, as injury attorneys like Auto Accident Law Group have observed of late.
Roads within New York’s city limits were the scene of such crashes on nearly 1000 separate occasions in 2023 alone, reports the firm - impacting passengers and pedestrians in equal measure. Most recently, an MTA bus collided with a light pole at 57th and Main - leaving eight injured in just one incident.
Even minor injuries can have significant ripple effects, with Auto Accident Law Group warning about the potential for lost earnings as a result of wounds sustained in vehicular crashes. Unfortunately, buses aren’t typically known for causing negligible damage during accidents - and the plight of injured victims can be considerable.
So considerable, in fact, that they risk being left paying out-of-pocket expenses for medical bills, physical rehabilitation, and even ongoing therapy to deal with any emotional ramifications. And lawyers advise that the MTA has its own insurance policy, quite distinct from standard auto insurance plans.
Victims are entitled to pursue justice if their injuries were caused by acts of negligence or recklessness - and the MTA is implicated when bus drivers are at fault. Yet, the window for filing claims against this public body stands at 90 days; a deadline that victims might not be able to meet in the immediate aftermath of their accident.
Moreover, even personal injury claims that are submitted on time will still need to go through a set of legal processes as part of a lengthy ordeal that many bus accident victims might not be in a position to handle without representation.
Such issues are now directly targeted by Auto Accident Law Group and others of its ilk. These firms are moving to ensure that more NYC citizens are aware of legal routes that can streamline the often frustrating path to recovering injury compensation.
Their solutions are technical in nature and scope, as modern attorneys leverage a combination of accident reconstruction software and AI-powered support to escalate their research into bus crashes. The aim is to conclusively identify who’s primarily to blame for causing accidents - and whose representatives could be compelled to pay out millions in settlements.
With firms like Auto Accident Law Group behind them, more NYC victims potentially have recourse en route to such awards.
