Responsibility may include the transit agency, private contractors, maintenance companies, and drivers whose negligence contributed to the crash or unsafe condition.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who do I file against if the driver worked for a city agency.
Public-entity rules apply. You often must serve a notice of claim within a short time.
What if the driver says the stop was a “sudden emergency”?
Transit carriers must still operate safely. We evaluate the evidence to challenge unsafe driving or poor maintenance.
Can I recover if I did not fall until later?
Yes, if the injury is linked to the incident. Report symptoms, get medical care, and keep the trip details and photos.
Do I need to keep my MetroCard or ticket?
Yes. Keep your card, receipt, or app record. It helps confirm the route, time, and location.
