What Are The Most Common Public Transportation Accidents In NYC?

The most common public transportation accidents in NYC that our MTA accident lawyers litigate are subway accidents, train accidents and bus accidents. When incidents involve the NYCTA, MTA or MaBSTOA (Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority), injured passengers may be able to hold these entities liable for damages caused by the incident.

NYCTA & MTA Accidents

The NYCTA is part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (often referred to as the MTA). The MTA is the largest transportation system in the United States, carrying millions of passengers daily and operating thousands of vehicles. The MTA encompasses the entirety of the New York City subway system, as well as the Long Island Railroad (LIRR), Staten Island Railway (SIR) and Metro-North Railroad.

The NYCTA and MTA have a responsibility to protect their passengers. Most New Yorkers put their safety in the hands of the public transportation system on a regular basis. Unfortunately, negligence can sometimes lead to bus or subway incidents that result in serious injuries. In some cases, the cause of a train or bus accident can be due to operator error, either from speeding, inattention or fatigue. In other instances, faulty equipment might be to blame. If you have been injured in a bus or train accident due to the negligence of the NYCTA or MTA, you may be eligible to recover compensation. Our MTA accident attorneys will investigate every aspect of your accident, from the condition of the vehicle to the background of the driver. Our firm can help you build a winning case.

MaBSTOA Accidents

MaBSTOA, or the Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority, is a subsidiary of the NYCTA. Certain buses may be owned by the New York City Transit Authority but operated by its subsidiary, MaBSTOA. For claims arising out of incidents occurring due to the negligence of certain city buses, the claim must be filed against MaBSTOA, in addition to the NYCTA. Identifying the correct parties to file against can be confusing, especially during a time in which you may be recovering from an injury or grieving the injury of a loved one. Let our experienced MTA accident lawyers sort through this process and fight for the compensation you deserve.

What Is A Notice Of Claim?

A notice of claim is a required document in certain lawsuits. The State of New York requires that injured parties looking to commence a civil lawsuit against the NYCTA must first file a notice of claim within 90 days of the accident. Once the notice of claim is properly filed, the claimants have 1 year and 90 days to institute the lawsuit.

REVIEWS

I am so glad I found this firm when I was searching for personal injury attorneys in New York. I contacted them through their website and they scheduled a free consultation immediately. I was nervous at first because I never had to deal with a personal injury case but I was informed about the procedure and timeline very thoroughly. From the beginning until the end my slip and fall case was professionally examined. The attorneys at this firm are very attentive and friendly too. All in all I’m very satisfied with my settlement, and I would not go anywhere else if I had a personal injury case in New York again.

Now that we have approached the close of my medical malpractice case, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP for all that they've done for my family and I. We appreciate this firm for understanding and being genuinely concerned while working on our behalf.

Eric

After my super fell down in an elevator shaft at work, he reached out to Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP for help. From the beginning until the end, the attorneys and the staff at this firm have helped him so much. The attorneys at this firm are not only hardworking and professional but also very down to earth and kind. The injury was due to a negligent failure to lock the elevator and the firm was able to settle the case for a very suitable amount of money. We recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for a very nice treatment, and I would go to them if I was in a hardship like my superintendent.

Monica

We are so grateful for your firm’s commitment to my mom’s case and all the hard work and sacrifice you poured into the case. We were impressed with the trial exhibits that were used during the trial, and I was especially happy with the witnesses they called. It was evident that they did their homework over the past 8 years before the trial. They were very prepared and astute with cross-examination, and the decisions made during the trial proved in favor for my mom. I am so pleased with your law firm and will recommend your firm to friends and family.

Stephanie & Evelyn

Attorney Washor recently won a car accident case I was involved in. The process was very thorough and everyone at the firm was patient, professional, and understanding during my involvement there. I really recommend Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP if you are involved in an accident.

Jessica

Dear Mr. Gallina, I would personally like to thank both you and Pablo for the way that you handled my aunt’s lawsuit. Pablo was outstanding. When he gave his presentation, I found him to be meticulous to detail and able to think quickly on his feet. He always kept focus on the “big picture.” I would like to think I would have written this note regardless of the outcome of the case. Winning, though, does make it nicer. My aunt would have been pleased with the outcome.

Nick

Extremely satisfied with the results. Barry Washor is a top medical malpractice attorney and with his lead, my results couldn't have been better. You have to trust these guys and schedule a consultation before reaching out to any other firms. They are very attentive to detail and they always make sure to listen to different sides of your case. The attorneys are very experienced and they have had so many exemplary cases on medical malpractice. Strongly recommended if you're looking to WIN.

Jennifer

My wife and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the personal care and attention that you and your office has directed towards our family in our time of need. We are greatly appreciative of your professionalism and wish you and your family all the best.

Barton

Dear Mr. Gallina, It is well known that doctors do not like lawyers, but this is not what this letter is about. I was asked to give expert testimony, something that I normally decline. I had the pleasure of working with Pablo Sosa on a case. I found him to be extremely well organized, personable, focused, and directed in his assessment of the case. It was a pleasure from the first to last, and I would be remiss if I did not let you know.
