New York Bus Accidents May Involve Complex Laws
While New York traffic accident cases are often only complicated by the state’s no-fault accident statutes, bus accidents can be very complex and involve several different law and legal doctrines. This may include:
- Respondeat Superior: The employer of the negligent driver is generally legally responsible for the accident they cause while they work as a bus driver. This also applies to commercial vehicle accident cases.
- Sovereign Immunity: There are limits on filing suit against a municipality or another government agency. While you may be able to pursue losses in a bus accident case against a government-run agency, you may need to follow special guidelines with tight time limits and other rules.
Our team knows how to navigate these rules and others, proving your bus accident claim and documenting your recoverable losses. We can help you after any type of bus accident, including:
- City or other public buses
- Long-distance bus companies
- Tourism and entertainment buses
- Rented buses for group travel
- Private coaches

Ben Crump Law, PLLC Can Build a Bus Accident Case
At Ben Crump Law, PLLC, we regularly work for accident victims who face additional financial losses and further damages if we cannot prove negligence and liability in their case. We do not believe accident victims should have to pay for their own treatment and losses when they suffered injuries because of another party’s actions. The bus owner or operator should pay for your care, not you.
As a part of this, we do not charge any fees upfront. You will never pay our attorneys out of your pocket. We work based on a contingency fee and take our fee from the award or settlement you recover in your case. If we do not recover an award for you, you do not pay us.
Let a New York bus accident lawyer from Ben Crump Law, PLLC go to work on your case today. We know the type of evidence common in these cases and may be able to prove the bus company is vicariously liable for your injuries. This will allow us to negotiate a payout or seek a court award. Call today for your free consultation.
