Metro Subway Injuries

Injured on the Metro Subway

In Buffalo, if you’re injured on the subway – or what we, here, call the Metro – the NFTA operates that and one of the things you have to do within 90 days is file a Notice of Claim against the NFTA. That filing preserves your right to file a lawsuit, which must then be filed within one year of your incident. If, however, you fail to file that Notice of Claim, you may lose your right to file a lawsuit later. The NFTA also has a special right to take a statement from you, early on in the case, and then use that statement later on in the pending lawsuit. That’s why it’s important to contact an attorney right away – as soon as that happens – so that we can make sure to meet those deadlines and preserve your rights going forward.
