NYC Transit Authority And MTA Bus Accidents: 90 Days To File A Claim

If you or a loved one has been in an accident involving a city bus, you probably know that the New York City Transportation Authority (NYCTA) and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) have lawyers working to protect their interests and that it is important for you to have a strong knowledgeable New York bus accident lawyer fighting for you. We represent bus passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers of other vehicles who have been injured and involved in an accident with a city bus.

It is important to act quickly as you only have 90 days from the time of the accident to file a claim or you lose the right to sue. Call our NYC MTA accident lawyers today for a free consultation at 347-318-4935 to discuss your claim.

MTA Driver Responsibility

When you ride a city bus, you have a reasonable expectation that the MTA bus driver has the training and responsible behavior needed to safely operate the bus. And it is true that city bus drivers are professionals who must have commercial driver’s licenses (CDL) and are held to higher standards than noncommercial drivers. They are also required to follow MTA regulations, and we will investigate your accident to find out if the driver followed regulations. Common causes of bus accidents that we see include:

  • Distracted driving such as texting or talking on cellphones
  • Impaired or drunk driving
  • Hour and mile violations
  • Speeding and reckless driving
  • Other moving violations

Bus Accidents Cause Serious Injuries

No matter the cause of the accident or the type of bus involved, a collision with a bus typically results in serious injuries such as broken bones, back and spinal injuries, or traumatic head injuries. In the worst cases, a bus accident causes the loss of a loved one or wrongful death.

Our cases include:

  • Personal injury
  • Wrongful death
  • Bus accidents
  • Public transportation and city bus accidents and negligence
  • Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) negligence
  • Bus terminals
  • Bus tours and charters
  • School bus negligence
  • Bus company negligence
  • Bus driver negligence
  • Employee negligence
  • Bus maintenance negligence
