Skilled Representation For Brooklyn Bus Accident Victims
Last updated on May 6, 2025
When New York public transit and commercial bus safety standards are not followed, it is not just a violation – it can lead to serious injury. If you have been hurt while riding or hit by a bus, you deserve legal guidance that understands these rules and how to fight for you.
As a family-owned firm rooted in Brooklyn and Manhasset, The Law Offices of Polizzotto & Polizzotto, LLC, has served New Yorkers for over 60 years. Our compassionate lawyers handle personal injury cases across Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Manhattan and Long Island, including bus accidents.
What Are Your Rights After A Bus Accident
New York City bus lanes are explicitly designated for buses and must be navigated adequately by bus drivers. According to New York City regulations, buses must:
- Maintain safe speeds within designated lanes
- Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks
- Signal properly when merging in and out of traffic
- Stop completely at designated bus stops
- Follow specific charter bus routes when applicable
Despite these regulations, accidents occur when drivers become distracted, operate vehicles negligently or companies fail to maintain proper safety standards. But that should not mean their actions should cause you harm. You are entitled to pursue a bus claim in such a situation.
While you might consider handling your case independently, bus accident claims involve complex liability issues between municipal agencies, private companies and insurance providers that require strategic legal navigation.
