Taking On Public Transit Authorities: Why You Need a Lawyer

Suing the government is not easy. Whether your case involves the MTA, NYCTA, a private bus company, or another transit provider, these agencies have legal teams working to protect them from liability. Proving negligence and holding them accountable requires a strategic legal approach.

We handle the legal battle so you can focus on your recovery. Our experienced New York transit accident attorneys will:

• Investigate the accident to determine liability
• Gather evidence, including security footage and accident reports
• Consult experts to strengthen your case
• Handle all legal filings and deadlines (including the strict time limits for claims against government agencies)
• Fight for maximum compensation for your injuries

Types of Mass Transit Accidents We Handle

We have extensive experience representing clients in cases involving:

• Bus Accidents – Injuries caused by bus crashes, sudden stops, negligent drivers, or defective vehicles
• Subway & Train Accidents – Slip/Trip and Fall Accidents on platforms, train derailments, operator negligence, or unsafe conditions
• Pedestrian & Cyclist Accidents – When buses or trains hit pedestrians, bikers, or commuters at crosswalks or stations
• Falls on Public Transit – Injuries from slippery floors, abrupt stops, or unsafe conditions inside buses and subway cars

No matter how your injury happened, we will fight aggressively to hold the responsible party accountable.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If you’ve been injured in a bus or subway accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Permanent disability or disfigurement

Act Fast – Limited Time to File a Claim

When suing a government agency like the MTA, NYCTA, or NYC Transit, there are strict deadlines to file a claim. In many cases, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the accident. Failing to meet these deadlines can bar you from recovering compensation.
