How to Tell If You Have a Case After a Public Bus Injury

If you’re injured on a bus or a publicly owned transportation system in a city, you want to immediately call a personal injury law firm that has experience in those types of cases. Number one, they can conduct a thorough investigation to figure out if you do have a case. But also, there are very short statute of limitations in those cases. The bus or the the transportation system is owned by municipality. You will only have 90 days to file a notice of claim, which then preserves your right to file a lawsuit. And unlike most statute of limitations in New York where you have 3 years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit, in New York, when there’s a municipal entity involved, you only have 1 year and 90 days. So, it’s much shorter time frames, which is another reason to call a law firm like ours right away.
