Injury Claims After a Mass Transit Accident in Brooklyn
Who do you file a claim against if you get hit by a bus or are injured in another type of mass transit accident?
If you have been hurt in a mass transit accident, you will have to file a claim against the city, state or federal government to get compensation for your medical care and lost wages. Filing such claims is a completely different process than the process of filing a claim with a private insurance company.
Without help from a personal injury lawyer who understands how the government claims process works in mass transit accident cases, you run the risk of accepting a settlement that is too low to cover all your expenses. In the worst-case scenario, if your lawyer misses important filing deadlines, you could permanently lose all your rights to file a compensation claim at all.
90 Days: If you are injured in a mass transit accident involving a vehicle operated by the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), your attorney must file a formal notice of your intent to seek compensation within 90 days of the accident. If the notice is not filed, you will be barred from filing a claim.
