350 Old Country Road, Suite 205, Garden City, NY 11530
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.
