Subway Accidents and the MTA
At Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman, P.C., we have extensive experience handling personal injury claims for people throughout New York City and the metropolitan area. One type of serious accident that frequently results in very serious injuries, is an accident occurring in the subway.
New York City's subway system is governed by the MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority). This is a governmental body and since this type of lawsuit involves suing a municipal authority, there are strict time limits that apply for the filing of a written claim and the commencement of a law suit. Generally speaking, a written notice of claim must be filed within 90 days from the date of the accident, or the claim will have no legal standing. The failure to file a timely claim can be fatal. It is therefore essential that an experienced attorney be retained, as soon as possible following the date of the accident to protect your rights.
Our attorneys have handled numerous claims and cases involving municipal liability and understand how to navigate the timelines and hurdles that apply in these type of cases. We urge you to take timely action so that you do not lose the opportunity to pursue your claim for monetary compensation.
