Justice For NJ Transit Victims Killed By Their Non Professional Lack Of Trained Bus Drivers

Justice For NJ Transit Victims Killed By Their Non Professional Lack Of Trained Bus Drivers

 In a significant development for accident victims, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously on March 4, 2026, that NJ Transit can be sued in other states, rejecting their sovereign immunity defense. This allows victims injured by NJ Transit/Coach USA buses to pursue lawsuits in state courts (e.g., NY, PA) rather than being limited to NJ state processes. [1, 2]

Key Developments and Information
  • Supreme Court Ruling (Galette v. New Jersey Transit Corp.): The court determined NJ Transit is not an "arm of the state" entitled to sovereign immunity, facilitating accountability for negligence.
  • Advocacy Efforts: Campaigns, including Justice For NJ Transit and Coach USA Murder Victims on Pinterest, track fatalities and advocate for accountability regarding driver negligence.
  • Individual Cases:
    • Deshon Johnson: Family has sought justice after he was struck and killed by a Coach USA/NJ Transit bus in Bloomfield, NJ in 2012.
    • Jordan Miller: Struck and killed by an NJ Transit bus while on a motorcycle in June 2024.
  • Reporting Incidents: Passengers or pedestrians involved in incidents can contact NJ Transit or file claims through the NJ Treasury Division of Risk Management. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Advocacy Focus
Victim advocates and advocacy groups focus on:
  • Exposing alleged negligence in driver training and management.
  • Demanding accountability for families and victims of fatal bus collisions.
  • Addressing concerns about how investigations are handled by local prosecutors and transportation agencies. [1, 2, 3]
