- Pain and suffering
- Diminished quality of life
- Medical bills
- Property damage
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Loss of wages and benefits
- Loss of earning capacity and job opportunities
If you want to recover financial compensation but are not sure where to start, call Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., today for more information. We are always happy to answer questions from clients and prospective clients.

Our Islip Bus Accident Attorneys Are Ready for Any Challenge
Our law firm has been successfully representing Long Island accident victims since 1991. These decades of experience have taught us the many ways that bus accident claims differ from other kinds of legal actions. For example:
- There are often more parties involved in a bus crash than in other kinds of traffic accidents. This includes not only the vehicle drivers and passengers but also the bus company and the various insurers.
- With so many parties involved, it might be more complicated to gather all available evidence to support your claim. Know that our legal team does not back down from a challenge and will investigate carefully, regardless of how complex your situation is.
- Large bus companies have often dealt with lawsuits before and know many different tactics to avoid paying what you need. We protect our clients from these tactics.
Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., is committed to empowering accident victims like you to make the best of a bad situation. While you focus on your physical and emotional recovery, our bus injury attorneys will manage your entire case on your behalf. This includes:
- Providing regular updates. We stay in frequent contact with clients as their cases progress and always keep them informed about what we are doing and what stage of the legal process their case is in.
- Identifying the liable parties. Before you can file a claim for compensation, you have to find the person or organization responsible for your injuries and losses. Our legal team will identify the liable party or parties.
- Communicating with other parties. The liable party’s representatives and insurers might try to manipulate you into giving up your rights. By letting our Islip attorneys speak with them on your behalf, you deny them that opportunity.
- Investigating and gathering evidence. We will learn as much as possible about your situation by collecting materials like photos, videos, witness statements, expert testimony, and bus company records.
- Quantifying your injuries. How much is your case worth? Our legal representatives will use the evidence we collect and opinions from experts to determine what types and amounts of damages you should demand in your claim.
- Advocating relentlessly on your behalf. Our goal is to win the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries and other damages. We never lose sight of that.
Our law firm will also work with you to decide the best way to resolve your case. This often involves negotiating with the insurance company until they offer an appropriate settlement. However, when necessary, we are willing to take the liable party to trial and represent you in the courtroom.

Finding Who Is Liable for Your Islip Accident
You have the right to take legal action against any and all liable parties who contributed to your accident injuries, either directly (through an act of negligence) or indirectly (by failing to take reasonable precautions).
Our bus crash lawyers in Islip are willing to confront anyone and everyone who is responsible for your pain, including:
- The bus company. This could be Suffolk County Transit or a private bus company, depending on who owned and operated the bus involved in the accident.
- A bus driver. Bus drivers might get distracted by rowdy passengers, not leave enough space between their vehicle and others, or ignore traffic signs. The risk of a crash could increase if the bus company compels the driver to work long hours with too few breaks.
- Another driver. Any driver, not just bus drivers, might choose to disobey traffic laws. They might also put themselves and others in danger by cutting the bus off or staying too long in the bus driver’s blind spot.
- A maintenance company: All vehicles require regular inspections and maintenance and occasional repairs. A maintenance team that fails to properly examine and fix a vehicle could be liable if your accident was caused by a mechanical issue, such as faulty brakes.
Even if the liable party is a powerful entity or reluctant to cooperate, Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will pursue them with all of the resources at our disposal. No one should be allowed to get away with negligence—and you should recover just compensation so you can move on with your life.
