Sustaining an injury in an auto accident of any kind can be devastating, but unfortunately, some accidents are often more devastating than others. When someone is involved in a car accident with a bus, they are often severely injured as a result of the sheer size and weight of the bus. If you were hurt and require compensation, please don’t hesitate to read on and contact a seasoned Manhattan car accident lawyer from the Law Office of Richard M. Kenny to learn more about these accidents and how we can help you through the claims process ahead. Here are some of the questions you may have:
How is a car accident involving a bus different than other auto accidents?
Bus accidents happen for a wide range of reasons, including faulty bus parts, dangerous road conditions, and more. That said, they are most often a result of neglectful bus drivers. Some common causes of bus accidents include driving while intoxicated, failing to account for large blind spots, negligently discharging passengers, distracted driving, and more. That said, if you were injured in a bus accident while driving a car, there is a strong chance you were severely injured due to the massive difference in size and weight. Our firm has significant experience representing clients who’ve been hurt in these accidents, and we are ready to put that experience to work for you.
How long do I have to sue for an injury sustained in a bus accident?
In most cases, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York City is three years. That said, when it comes to bus accidents, the statute of limitations is often far shorter. In fact, if you were injured by a bus owned by the city or state, you likely will only have 90 days from the date of your accident to file a Notice of Claim.
