Bus traffic is a near-constant factor in getting around Brooklyn, with drivers of these massive vehicles prone to pulling into traffic, turning against lights and simply "not seeing" people and other vehicles. When a Brooklyn bus accident occurs, the consequences for victims are often catastrophic or fatal, and our firm is a proven resource for pursuing badly needed financial compensation.
If a bus accident in Brooklyn has left you seriously injured or grieving a family member's wrongful death, you will want a respected and accomplished law firm on your side. We bring decades of experience and extensive knowledge of the nuances of bus crash cases to these situations — including successful litigation against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the New York City Transit Authority (NYTCA) and against private transportation companies with ownership outside the state.
