New York City Subway Accidents Attorney The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), as well as NYC Transit Authority and New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit), can be held liable for injuries that occur on subways and commuter trains. In general, the MTA and NJ Transit can be held financially liable for acts of negligence, disrepair and even certain kinds of physical assault that result in injuries on subways and commuter trains. However, both the MTA and NJ Transit are responsible for performing their own investigations when train and subway accidents happen. At the law office of David B. Schachter, Attorney at Law, we consult with our own accident investigators, safety consultants, engineers and train experts to determine the cause of the train or subway accident. As your attorney, Mr. Schachter interviews eyewitnesses, train conductors, token booth operators and others to expose any negligence on the part of the MTA or NJ Transit.

Investigating Subway AccidentsIt's important to begin the investigative process as soon as possible after a train or subway accident. If filing suit against a municipality or government agency in New York, a notice of claim must be filed within 90 days. The notice of claim must be filed before a lawsuit can be filed. MTA and NJ Transit investigators begin investigating and collecting evidence soon after an accident or claim is filed. Since liability is at issue, investigators from the transit authorities are interested in presenting evidence that they believe exonerates the transit authorities' employees of any wrongdoing. As such, it's crucial that you have an attorney who can coordinate investigative findings in order to ensure that all relevant evidence is considered and information is preserved.
