Public Transit Accidents

Nassau County Bus Accident Lawyer

New York City and Long Island residents rely on the commuter train, subway, and bus systems—public transit systems that move more than 7 million people every day. These are common carriers, and expected to meet a higher standard for safety than private motorists. They must take extra measures to avoid accidents and prevent injuries to passengers, employees, motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

New York subway, train, and bus accidents

Personal injury attorneys at our Nassau County law firm, the Law Office of Louis D. Stober, Jr., L.L.C., represent transit employees, passengers, and others injured in accidents, helping them recover full and fair compensation for their losses. If you would like to speak with one of our lawyers about an injury claim, please contact our Garden City office and arrange a free consultation and case evaluation.

As your counsel our attorneys will examine evidence, witness statements, and transit authority reports regarding the train or bus accident to identify factors that caused your injury. They will consider the following:

• Driver negligence, speeding, illegal log book, maintaining false driving records, drunk driving
• Transit company negligence in training and supervision of employees
• Failure of the transit company to maintain tracks and equipment in a safe manner
• Failure to adhere to municipal, state, and federal safety regulations designed to protect passengers, operators, and track workers
• Failure to note and repair known hazards and failure to set up warning lanterns

The transit company may be responsible for your injuries if you were injured when boarding or exiting a bus or train, in a collision, or while working on the tracks. Our lead attorney, Louis D. Stober, Jr., has been handling injury claims for over twenty years, and is committed to recovering full compensation for every individual our firm represents.
