What to Do After a Bus Accident

Knowing what to do in the first hours and days after a bus accident can protect your health and your rights. Even if you are uncertain about filing a claim, following these essential steps is important:

Helpful steps to take after a bus accident in Brooklyn:

• Get prompt medical attention: Serious injuries are not always immediately obvious. Visit a reputable healthcare provider, such as NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, to ensure your injuries are identified and treated.
• Report the accident: Inform the police and, if a city bus is involved, request a copy of the official report from the NYPD or the MTA.
• Document the scene: Take photographs of your injuries, damage, and the accident location, and gather contact information from witnesses, bus drivers, and other parties.
• Track all expenses and communication: Keep records of medical appointments, missed work, and any insurance or transit authority correspondence.
• Contact an attorney quickly: Claims involving public agencies like the MTA may require that you file a written Notice of Claim within 90 days. Early legal support can protect your rights and begin the process of building your case.

What to Expect After a Bus Accident

A bus crash in Brooklyn can be disorienting, both physically and emotionally. Injuries may include broken bones, head trauma, or damage that appears later, sometimes days after the incident. Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or in another vehicle, you may experience hospital visits, time off work, unexpected bills, and pressure from insurance representatives to settle quickly or to deny responsibility altogether.

Many victims have important questions about fault, which insurance applies, or how to protect their rights while focusing on healing. In a city as busy as Brooklyn, with so many public and private buses—including those operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)—additional complications often arise. Our team’s familiarity with medical records and legal procedures lets us anticipate your questions, explain injuries, and help address the confusion that comes with serious crashes.

Bus accident cases often involve complex injuries and multiple parties. Our combination of medical understanding and legal insight is important, especially when building support for your claim and advocating for your needs. We take the time to support you, so you are never left guessing about what happens next.

Yes, we regularly work on cases involving city-owned buses, including MTA vehicles, as well as private bus companies.
