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.

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.
