It gets dicey with government agencies (also railroads). Who owns vs who controls vs who operates? In NYS time requirements for instituting suits against governments and their agencies are very strict, as a prior poster mentioned, a notice of claim is filed first. That is a narrow window, it is one of the reasons why you read about lawsuits involving gov't agencies so quickly after an accident, not just because sharks smell blood, it is necessary to preserve your rights. How an agency is created legislatively (generally under NYS Public Authorities Law) will usually determine how/where a case proceeds (usually) under NYS Municipal Law. In NY a few categories of cases proceed in the Court of Claims rather than NYS Supreme Court. The short version is: in an accident involving any level of government or an agency consult with an attorney familiar with that type of case on a timely basis. |
