Brooklyn Bus Accident Lawyers

New York City MTA Accident Attorneys

Millions of New Yorkers and other people across the Tri-State area depend on public transportation to get to work, school or other places. The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) oversees buses, trains, subways and rail services across New York City and throughout the state. If you, a family member or a loved one has been injured while riding on a bus, train or subway, you likely have many concerns about how to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost income and other expenses. Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates has substantial experience helping people recover full and fair compensation after a serious accident. Contact us to schedule your initial consultation.

Mass transit accidents can happen in a variety of circumstances. Perhaps you or a loved one was injured while riding or boarding a bus, train or subway. Perhaps you were driving or riding in a car that was struck by a bus. Whatever the situation, our law firm will provide the tenacious, skillful representation you, your family or loved ones need.

Claims against the MTA or other public transportation agencies are different from other personal injury claims in many important ways. Your lawyer must understand these differences in order to achieve success in your case. For instance, you must act quickly. Under the law, if you, a family member or other loved one has been injured in an accident caused by an MTA vehicle, you have to file a notice of claim within 90 days of your accident. Other agencies may have different time frames, so it is important to act quickly.

Once we have filed a notice of claim, our law firm will continue to review your injuries and the facts of your accident to build the strongest possible claim for damages. We understand the urgency of these cases, and will work to achieve a favorable outcome, either in litigation or settlement negotiations. We have achieved a record of success representing injured clients. As evidence of this record, David J. Hernandez is a Life Member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. He was also selected as a Super Lawyer in New York in 2010 and 2007.
