Cases Against NYC

An injured person or their family may have a claim against New York City or Municipal entity in various situations. Such claims require certain specific documentation and procedures to protect the rights of the injured.

A claim against New York City could arise when a vehicle owned or operated by an agent of the City negligently inflicts injury upon a person. Also, a vehicular accident and injuries could be caused by defective road construction, broken traffic signals, faulty protective barriers or poor road maintenance.

The City may own or have control over certain construction and building sites and negligent activity on such site could cause injuries to workers or bystanders.

Certain City premises or sidewalks may be defective or poorly maintained and may cause injury to pedestrians who are lawfully traversing the sidewalk or premises.

Accidents that occur on a York City Transit Authority vehicle, train, bus, platform or station may give rise to a claim for negligence.

Acts of negligence that occur on New York City Housing Authority premises may be the result of negligence on the part of the Housing Authority/New York City.

Negligent acts occurring at a City Hospital may result in a finding of fault on the part of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation.

In these claims it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and to file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the statute of limitations.
