New York Bus Accident FAQS
What can I do to protect myself after a New York bus accident ?
Bus cases are very complicated and require the immediate attention of an attorney with knowledge of how the bus companies will fight back. Bus companies have unlimited resources that include teams of lawyers and experts who are prepared to fight against lawsuits.
What should I do at the scene of a New York bus accident?
While you are at the scene of the accident:
- Remain calm and remain in your vehicle, unless it is dangerous to do so
- Turn on your hazard lights
- Call 911 even if your accident seems minor
- Seek medical attention for any injured drivers or passengers
- Do not move the vehicles until the police arrive, unless necessary,
- Do not leave the scene of the accident
- Write down the names, addresses and phone numbers of all parties involved, including any witnesses
- Write down the names and badge numbers of any police officers that are investigating the accident
- Photograph the vehicles and any injuries sustained by you or your passengers
- Do not admit fault
- Immediately notify your own insurance company of the accident
- Do not discuss the accident with anyone except the police or your own insurance agent or representative ( you are not required to give a statement to anyone other than the police and your insurance company).
What should I do if the bus company calls me before I have retained an attorney?
Do not make a recorded statement to the bus company’s insurance carrier. Do not sign any forms sent to you by the bus company and their insurance carrier. Immediately contact us.
What should I do in the days following a NY bus accident?
Take these steps:
- Obtain a copy of the accident report prepared by the police
- Obtain a property damage valuation from your insurance company
- Write down all visits with doctors and other healthcare providers and keep a journal of any symptoms or pain you experience. Also, get copies of all test results, medications, treatments, and any other relevant medical information
- Keep a detailed list of any out-of-pocket expenses you incur
- Record days of missed work or other activities in which you were unable to participate
- Never accept a settlement offer from an insurance carrier unless you have consulted with a NY injury attorney.
