Many New York City and Long Island residents rely heavily on the train, subway and bus systems (public transit) that serve more than 7 million people every day. Public transit vehicles are expected to meet a higher standard for safety than private motorist companies. They must take extra measures to avoid accidents and prevent injuries to passengers, employees, motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists.


Personal injury attorneys at our Nassau County law firm, the Law Offices of Louis D. Stober, Jr., L.L.C., represent transit employees, passengers, and others injured in accidents, helping them recover full and fair compensation for their losses. If you would like to speak with one of our lawyers about an injury claim, please contact our Garden City office and arrange a free consultation and case evaluation. Our attorneys will evaluate and examine evidence, witness statements, and transit authority reports regarding the train or bus accident to classify factors that caused the injury.  Our attorneys will consider the following:
  • Driver negligence, speeding, illegal log book, maintaining false driving records, drunk driving
  • Transit company negligence in training and supervision of employees
  • Failure of the transit company to maintain tracks and equipment in a safe manner
  • Failure to adhere to municipal, state, and federal safety regulations designed to protect passengers, operators, and track workers
  • Failure to note and repair known hazards and failure to set up warning lanterns
The transit company may be responsible for your injuries if you were injured when boarding or exiting a bus or train, a collision, or while working on the tracks. Our lead attorney, Louis D. Stober, Jr., has been handling injury claims for nearly thirty years and is fully committed to recovering full compensation for every individual that our firm represents.

If you or a member of your family has suffered a serious or catastrophic injury in a bus or train crash, or you have lost a loved one in a fatal accident, please call 877-881-7185 or e-mail our Garden City, New York, office to arrange a free consultation with one of our personal injury attorneys. It is our goal to help you recover full compensation for your loss.
