Queens bus accident attorney Keetick L. Sanchez is advising individuals injured in bus accidents throughout Queens on the unique legal challenges they face, which differ significantly from standard car accident claims. Bus accidents present exponentially greater injury severity due to the massive size and weight of buses, and the legal approach must reflect this reality.
Why it matters
Bus accidents in Queens involve complex liability issues, strict procedural requirements, and layered insurance policies that require specialized legal expertise to navigate. Missing key deadlines can forfeit the right to recover damages, even with severe injuries.
The details
According to Sanchez, bus accident cases often involve multiple responsible parties beyond just the driver, including corporate negligence by bus companies. Employers can be held vicariously liable for their employee's negligence. The firm handles cases involving MTA and city buses, school buses, private charter and tour buses, and shuttle and airport buses, each with unique procedural requirements.
- Injured parties must file a formal Notice of Claim with the MTA within 90 days of the accident.
- The overall statute of limitations for bus accident claims is only one year and 90 days from the accident date, compared to the typical three years for other personal injury claims.
