Who Is Potentially Liable in a Bronx Train Accident
Train accident cases can be complex, and several parties may bear fault for your accident and subsequent injuries. Some of the parties that may be held liable for your accident include:
- Train operators
- Train companies
- Transit companies (The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), Amtrak, NJ Transit, Metro North, and the Long Island Railroad Road (LIRR))
- Train manufacturers
- Parts and equipment manufacturers
- Other third parties, including motorists, cyclists, or pedestrians
Depending on your accident’s unique circumstances, there may be more than one liable party. At Morgan & Morgan, we can analyze the details of your case to determine the cause of your accident and the appropriate liable parties.
Damages You May Be Able to Recover
Train accidents can be life-altering, and victims typically suffer severe injuries with long-term complications. Many train accident victims cannot work for extended periods due to injuries and may require lengthy hospital stays. If you have been injured in a train accident in the Bronx, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries and the impact they can have on your life. A few types of damages you may be able to recover for you include:
- Pain and suffering (past and future)
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and income (past and future)
- Loss of enjoyment in life
- Emotional trauma
- Property damage
- Significant disfigurement or disability
Morgan & Morgan has over 35 years of experience fighting for the legal rights of our clients. We can work to help ensure you receive full and fair compensation for your train accident injuries.
Time May Be Running Out to File an Injury Claim
New York abides by a legal time limit for personal injury claims known as the statute of limitations. Typically, the statute of limitations for cases of negligence is three years from the date of the accident. However, if you are pursuing legal action against a government entity, such as the MTA or LIRR for example, you must file a document called a Notice of Claim within just 90 days after the accident, and you must commence your lawsuit within one year and ninety days of the accident.
If you fail to meet these deadlines, you may forfeit your right to compensation for your losses.
