Accidents Caused by the City

IF I AM INJURED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT, AND I BELIEVE THAT NEW YORK CITY IS RESPONSIBLE, WHAT SHOULD I DO? 

The Answer: You should call an experienced New York City personal injury attorney as soon as possible, because cases against municipalities involve different procedures, and failure to follow them may result in you losing your right to sue! 


If you were injured in an automobile accident caused by a city bus, a fire truck, a police car, a garbage truck etc., call The Feldman Firm today. 

If you fell and were injured due to a defect in the street, sidewalk, or subway station steps, call The Feldman Firm today.


Personal Injury claims against the City of New York, just like injury claims against any municipality, require you to follow special rules. If you fail to follow these special rules of procedure, you will permanently lose your right to compensation. For example, you must file a Notice of Claim with the City within 90 days of the accident or you will lose your right to file a lawsuit!


Can you imagine being struck by a New York City bus, and then visiting an attorney 91 days later, only to be told that you just missed the 90 day deadline for filing the notice of claim! Do not let this happen to you! 


If you believe that you may have an injury claim against any city or town, call the Feldman Firm today. We will begin working on your case immediately, and we will determine whether the city is legally liable.
