Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

You would actually have 2 claims...first a workers' compensation claim as you were injured on the job and a second claim against the bus company. I woukd be happy to give a FREE consultation to review your rights and obligations. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] with your contact information. Best regards.

Workers compensation will cover your lost wages and medical expenses. Better to be represented by a WC attorney in order to get the full benefit of the claim. If your injuries turn out to be "serious", and that is defined in the law, you can pursue a pain and suffering case against the bus company and owners and drivers of any other vehicles involved in the accident. You have three years from the date of the accident to bring suit, so no hurry. Wait and see how you're feeling a month or two from now, and whether the course of medical treatment is extensive. If you're still in pain, you should be seeing a doctor. VTY, MEZ
