Partner With a Skilled Public Transportation Injury Lawyer in Brooklyn, NY, Serving the Greater New York Metropolitan Area

Every day, millions of New Yorkers rely on public transportation to get where they need to go. Unfortunately, when buses, subways, or trains aren’t properly maintained or operated, passengers and pedestrians can suffer serious injuries. These cases are complex because claims against government agencies like the MTA have short filing deadlines and strict procedures.

My approach is both compassionate and aggressive, focused on recovering full compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and long-term care needs. I handle bus accident cases, subway accident claims, and train collision injuries with professionalism and determination.
