Limited Time for Action
Time is critical for claims against municipalities. For example, there is a 90-day filing requirement for an injury claim against The City of New York, the Board of Education, or any public transportation company. If you believe you possibly have a valid claim against a municipality or public authority, call Pulvers, Pulvers & Thompson, LLP immediately. If the notice of claim is not filed within the 90 days, you may lose your right to recover for your injuries. If you are injured in an accident on public property, in a public facility, or with a publicly owned vehicle, contact us immediately for a consultation.
