Personal Injury Law

Injured Due to the Negligence of the MBTA?

By ChristopherFEarley

If you have suffered this misfortune, here are some things you need to be aware of:

1)    There is only a two year statute of limitations for claims against the MBTA;

2)    Notice of your accident should be sent - via Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested - to the MBTA legal department located at the Transportation Building in downtown Boston;

3)    The MBTA generally, through the Treasury Department, only has money at or around July 1 of each year to pay out on claims;

4)    After your accident, make sure the MBTA creates an accident report of the incident;

5)    The MBTA does not give away money; litigation is often (if not always) necessary with personal injury claims against the MBTA.
