New Jersey Bus Accident Lawyers Fighting for You

Injured in a Bus Crash? We’ll Help You Get Justice

Bus accidents often result in devastating injuries—whether you’re a passenger, pedestrian, or driver of another vehicle. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus accident in New Jersey or New York, Mintz & Geftic is here to help. Our experienced personal injury lawyers know how to investigate these complex cases and fight to get the compensation you deserve.

With offices in Elizabeth, NJ and New York City, we represent victims across Union, Hudson, Middlesex, Bergen, and Morris counties, and beyond.

Why Bus Accidents Happen

Bus accidents can occur for many reasons, often due to negligence by the bus driver or the company responsible for operating and maintaining the vehicle. Common causes include:

Driver fatigue or distraction
Reckless or impaired driving
Poor maintenance or mechanical failures
Inadequate driver training
Overloaded or improperly secured passengers
Weather or road conditions combined with poor decision-making

Whether it’s a public transportation bus, school bus, shuttle, or a private tour bus, these cases require an in-depth investigation to determine who is responsible.

What Makes Bus Accident Cases Unique?

Bus accident cases are complex. Unlike car accidents, they may involve multiple parties—including private companies, public transit agencies, and insurance providers. At Mintz & Geftic, we:

Conduct thorough investigations using expert engineers and accident reconstruction experts
Analyze data from onboard safety systems, GPS, and video surveillance
Determine whether state or federal safety regulations were violated
Identify all responsible parties to ensure full compensation

Our attorneys have over 60 years of combined experience representing victims in catastrophic injury cases and wrongful death claims.

We Fight for Maximum Compensation

Victims of bus accidents often face serious physical, emotional, and financial consequences. We fight to recover damages for:

Medical expenses (past, present, future)
Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death (for families who lost a loved one)

You pay nothing unless we win. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront fees. If we don’t recover compensation, you owe us nothing.
