Countless individuals take public transportation in New York City, such as taxis, the subway, and buses. No one ever steps onto a bus expecting to be involved in a serious accident, but bus accidents are common in the busy city.

Filing With The New York City Transit Authority
If a bus or other public transportation vehicle caused an accident that resulted in your injuries, you may submit a claim with the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA). This can be a quick and effective procedure, but only if it is performed correctly. Many people are unaware of the correct procedure for filing a claim and, as a result, forfeit their right to compensation. Consult our injury attorneys in NYC before you file your claim so you get informed on the process. Act quickly — you only have 90 days after an accident to file with the NYCTA.
