I'm a liability investigator in NY.

Yes, she MIGHT have a cause of action depending on several factors.

Was the floor wet all over or just in that spot? What was her footwear? Was she walking/running? Did she fill out a report with the bus terminal? Does she have medical documentation of her injuries?

- That's for starters but it all factors in.

She fell ON the bus? I get it.

School bus? She's a child?

The bus driver should have provided her with the info to file a claim for the injury. How long ago was this and what State?

(Thanks for the quick response to my questions.)
