Manhattan bus accident attorney Jonathan C. Reiter outlines tips for those who have been injured by an MTA bus.
Everyday, over an estimated 11 million people rely on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for transportation. That means millions of New Yorkers entrust their lives to the public transportation corporation daily, expecting to have a safe commute to work, home, school, or other destination. However, as with any transportation system, issues can arise that can lead to MTA related New York bus accidents, putting the lives of commuters in jeopardy.
A number of people in New York have been injured while traveling on an MTA bus. Recently, two MTA related bus crashes in Queens made headlines. One involved a pedestrian who was killed by public transit bus while crossing the street.
