Like truck accidents and other collisions with large, heavy vehicles, bus accidents tend to be far more devastating than typical car accidents, often leading to catastrophic injuries and fatalities. To make matters worse, pursuing compensation for accident-related damages can be complicated, depending on the circumstances involved.
At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, LLP, we have successfully represented victims of both public and private bus accidents on Long Island and throughout New York City. Our attorneys have extensive experience pursuing compensation from private insurance providers, as well as government entities; to date, we have secured over $1 billion in compensation for our clients. If you or someone you love was involved in a bus accident in New York, our skilled team is ready to fight for you.

Our New York bus accident attorneys often work with accident reconstructionists, expert witnesses, and other professionals to obtain powerful evidence and testimony on behalf of our clients. We know how to properly investigate these claims to determine what happened and who is responsible.
