Injured in a US Bus Accident as a Canadian Citizen?
If you are a Canadian citizen who was injured in a bus accident that occurred on US soil — or in a cross-border accident involving a US-registered carrier — you have the right to pursue compensation under American law, which in most cases provides significantly higher compensation than Canadian damage caps allow.
Jazlowiecki & Jazlowiecki has represented Canadian victims of US bus accidents for over 20 years. Our attorneys successfully argued against the application of Canadian damage caps in cross-border cases. Edward Jazlowiecki negotiated on behalf of his clients as part of a $36 million global settlement involving multiple attorneys and plaintiffs across multiple jurisdictions.
If you are a Canadian citizen injured on a US bus or in a cross-border accident, call us at (860) 589-8000 for a free case evaluation. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
No-Fault Insurance Coverage for Bus Accident Victims
In New York and certain other states, every passenger injured on a bus has a right to no-fault insurance coverage — separate from any liability claim against the bus company. In New York, this coverage provides up to $50,000 for medical expenses, lost wages, and death benefits, regardless of who was at fault in the accident.
This no-fault coverage must be filed within 30 to 60 days of the accident against the bus carrier's insurance. Missing this deadline can forfeit your right to this additional compensation entirely.
Jazlowiecki & Jazlowiecki will identify every available source of compensation in your case — including no-fault coverage, liability claims against the bus company, and any third-party claims — to maximise your recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you feel your injuries are minor. Symptoms of serious injuries such as concussion, whiplash, and internal trauma can be delayed. If you are able to do so safely, document the scene with photographs, note the bus company name, route number, and driver information, and collect contact details from other passengers and witnesses. Do not speak to the bus company's insurance adjuster or sign any documents before consulting an attorney.
