In March of 2026, the Police Department for the City of New York reported 318 bus accidents had occurred citywide.
When these bus accidents occur, passengers on the bus can suffer harm, as can others sharing the road with the bus. Tragically, in many cases, these crashes could have been prevented if drivers had exercised reasonable care. When drivers fall short, those drivers — and often their employers — can be held liable for losses.

Why Is Finding the Right Attorney Critical After a Bus Accident?
Finding the right Garden City injury attorney after a bus accident is important because:
- Bus accidents often cause serious injuries: Because of their large size and the fact that passengers often don’t wear seat belts, bus accidents can cause serious and often fatal injuries to passengers and others on the roads. When injuries are serious, more money is at stake.
- Bus companies often try to avoid liability: Large private bus charters have their own investigators and do all they can to try to avoid admitting fault or paying the damages you deserve. You need an advocate who understands what your case is worth and who can fight for you.
- Strict deadlines may apply: If your crash involves an MTA bus or other city bus, special rules apply for taking legal action, including a requirement that you provide notice within 90 days of the injury. You need an attorney who understands the special rules for claims against government entities and who can protect your claim.
- There are multiple potential defendants: You may be able to sue the driver, the bus company, those responsible for maintenance, or those who manufactured the bus. You need to identify all the defendants and the appropriate legal arguments, such as negligence laws, vicarious liability laws, or product liability laws. A skilled Garden City accident attorney understands which arguments to make and how to maximize damages by identifying all parties responsible for compensating you.
