You can sue New York City if you suffered injuries in a bicycle accident because the government failed to properly maintain roads; however, the City has strict requirements for filing an injury claim. You must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of your accident, and the City has 30 days to request a preliminary hearing.
You only have 15 months from the date of injury to file a lawsuit, and you must do so after you file the notice, which means that claims against the city move quickly. It’s in your best interest to consult our Bronx bicycle injury attorneys as soon as possible to help guide you through the process and build the strongest case possible.
