Experienced Bus Accident Representation on Staten Island
Staten Island, NYC's most suburban borough with over 495,000 residents, relies heavily on bus transportation due to limited subway access. MTA buses navigate major corridors like Victory Boulevard, Hylan Boulevard, and Richmond Avenue. Express buses (X1, X10, X22) transport commuters to Manhattan via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at high speeds. Staten Island has extensive school bus service due to its suburban layout. When you're injured in a Staten Island bus accident, you need attorneys who understand Richmond County Supreme Court at 18 Richmond Terrace and can navigate the MTA's strict 90-day Notice of Claim requirement.
