§ 2793. Actions against authority. 1. Except in an action for wrongful   death, no action or special proceeding shall be prosecuted or maintained   against  the authority, its members, officers, or employees for personal   injury or damage to real or  personal  property  alleged  to  have  been   sustained  by  reason  of  the  negligence,  tort or wrongful act of the   authority or of any member, officer, agent or employee  thereof,  unless   (a) a notice of claim shall have been made and served upon the authority   within  the  time limit set by and in compliance with section fifty-e of   the general municipal law, (b) it shall appear by and as  an  allegation   in the complaint or moving papers that at least thirty days have elapsed   since  the service of such notice and that adjustment or payment thereof   has been neglected or refused, (c)  the  action  or  special  proceeding   shall  be  commenced within one year and ninety days after the happening   of the event upon which the claim is based, and (d)  an  action  against   the  authority  for wrongful death shall be commenced in accordance with   the notice of claim and time limitation provisions of  title  eleven  of   article nine of this chapter.2.  Whenever  a notice of claim is served upon the authority, it shall   have the right to demand an examination of the claimant relative to  the   occurrence  and  extent  of  the  injuries or damages for which claim is   made, in accordance with  the  provisions  of  section  fifty-h  of  the   general municipal law.3.  The  authority may require any person presenting for settlement an   account or claim for any cause whatever  against  the  authority  to  be   sworn  before  a  member, counsel or an attorney, officer or employee of   the authority designated for such purpose, concerning  such  account  or   claim  and,  when so sworn, to answer orally as to any facts relative to   such account or claim. The authority  shall  have  power  to  settle  or   adjust all claims in favor of or against the authority.4.  Any  action  or proceeding to which the authority or the people of   the state may be parties,  in  which  any  question  arises  as  to  the   validity  of  this title, shall be preferred over all other civil causes   of action or cases, except election causes of action or  cases,  in  all   courts  of  the state and shall be heard and determined in preference to   all  other  civil  business  pending  therein  except  election  causes,   irrespective  of  position on the calendar. The same preference shall be   granted upon application of the authority or its counsel in  any  action   or  proceeding  questioning  the  validity  of  this  title in which the   authority may be allowed to intervene. The venue of any such  action  or   proceeding shall be laid in the supreme court of the county.5.  The rate of interest to be paid by the authority upon any judgment   for which it is liable, other than a judgment on its bonds, shall be the   rate prescribed by section five thousand four of the civil practice  law   and rules. Interest on payments of principal or interest on any bonds in   default  shall  accrue at the rate borne by such bonds from the due date   thereof until paid or otherwise satisfied.
