Bus accidents can happen in many ways, each with unique challenges. Our bus accident lawyers in New Jersey and New York are experienced in cases like:

  • School Bus Accidents: Devastating crashes involving children or pedestrians, often due to driver negligence or poor maintenance.
  • Public Transit Bus Accidents: Cases requiring a skilled MTA bus accident lawyer, navigating government regulations.

  • Mechanical Failures: Faulty brakes or tires, with liability on maintenance companies or manufacturers.

Holding Negligent Parties Accountable

When a bus driver fails to prioritize safety, it’s called a breach of duty. This can mean texting while driving, speeding, or ignoring traffic laws, putting lives at risk. Our bus accident lawyers in New Jersey and New York dig deep to uncover negligence, whether it’s a distracted driver, a poorly maintained bus, or a company cutting corners. We’re committed to holding those responsible accountable, so you can focus on healing.

Negligence can also come from:

  • Bus companies neglecting vehicle maintenance.
  • School districts failing to train drivers properly.
  • Manufacturers producing defective parts like brakes.
  • Government entities like NJ Transit or MTA ignoring safety standards.

Our bus crash lawyers have the expertise to navigate these complex cases, fighting for justice in NJ and NY.

Dawn Pinnisi Rehabilitates Personal Injury’s Image

At Varcadipane & Pinnisi, P.C., Dawn Pinnisi fights back against the public’s misconceptions of personal injury lawyers, dedicating her life to easing her clients’ burdens.

When Dawn Pinnisi started her career as a young lawyer in 2000, what struck her the most was the dearth of female colleagues in her line of work. “When I entered the trial part courtroom, I could count on one hand the number of women in the room,” she says.

Now, as a founding member of the New York and New Jersey-based litigation firm Varcadipane & Pinnisi, P.C., she works tirelessly to not just advocate for her clients, but for other women in the legal field as well.

Answers to Your Bus Accident Questions

In New Jersey, you have two years for private or commercial bus accident claims. For government buses (e.g., NJ Transit), a Notice of Claim is due within 90 days. In New York, the same 90-day Notice applies, with a lawsuit deadline of one year and 90 days. Our bus accident lawyers ensure you meet these deadlines. You must file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires. Other factors may also apply.

Liability may fall on drivers, bus companies, maintenance providers, manufacturers, or entities like NJ Transit or MTA. A driver’s breach of duty, like distracted driving, is often the cause. Our bus crash lawyers investigate to hold all parties accountable.

You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. For government bus accidents, non-economic damages require proof of permanent injury. Our bus accident attorneys fight for maximum compensation.

Yes! Our bus accident lawyers work on a contingent fee basis, meaning no upfront costs and no fee unless we make a recovery on your case.

School bus accidents often involve children and government entities, requiring a 90-day Notice of Claim in NJ and NY. Our bus accident lawyers navigate these complexities to secure justice.

Greyhound bus accidents involve federal regulations and complex investigations. Our Greyhound bus accident lawyers have the expertise to win these cases.

MTA bus accidents require navigating strict government rules. Our MTA bus accident lawyers ensure your claim is filed correctly for maximum compensation.
