Brooklyn School Bus Accidents
Brooklyn school buses are responsible for transporting our most valuable: our children. When school bus accidents happen, precious cargo (our children) can be thrown around the bus, sustaining serious injuries with numerous children being hurt at the same time.
Tour Buses in Brooklyn
Brooklyn tour bus accidents can also happen in the City. Brooklyn tour companies have to ensure that the best drivers are retained to guarantee the safety of the passengers, especially for the double-decker buses. In uncommon cases, people riding the tour bus in the top of the bus can fall out and suffer significant injuries or even death.
What Should I Do After a Brooklyn Bus Accident?
The loss of life, injury, disability, and poor psychological well-being are just some examples of the tragedy that befalls a person after an accident. Dealing with the pain involved following a Brooklyn Bus Accident can be overwhelming, but the law can be unforgiving with respect to timely notifying certain parties of your intention to bring a claim. Fir example, if we are dealing with a NYC Transit bus or an MTA bus, there is a requirement that a Notice of Claim be filed within ninety (90) days after the accident. Failure to meet this deadline will almost certainly bar your claim against a New York City of New York City Transit bus company.
