Accidents in The Bronx
The Bronx is crossed by the Cross Bronx Expressway, the Major Deegan Expressway and the Bruckner Expressway, with heavy truck and bus traffic and many busy shopping corridors. Typical cases include highway and truck collisions, pedestrians struck near bus stops and intersections, MTA bus injuries, and falls in aging buildings and stairwells.
Injury lawsuits in The Bronx are heard in the New York State Supreme Court for Bronx County. Where a case can be filed often depends on where the accident happened and where the people involved live, which is one more reason to speak with an attorney early.

Three New York deadlines that can affect your claim
- 01
30 days — no-fault application
After a car accident, New York generally requires a no-fault application (Form NF-2) within 30 days to access medical benefits, no matter who was at fault.
- 02
90 days — claims against the city or MTA
If a city vehicle, MTA bus or other government entity was involved, a notice of claim is typically required within 90 days, much shorter than the usual deadline.
- 03
3 years — filing a lawsuit
Most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the accident (CPLR §214). Exact deadlines depend on your facts, so confirm yours with an attorney.
