FAQ
MBTA ACCIDENT
-
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
MBTA collisions are complex, and there are specific laws related to MBTA accidents that may impact your claim. It’s important you know that:
- Under the Massachusetts Torts Claims Act, if you are injured in a MBTA accident, you must notify the MBTA within two years, or you may lose your rights to compensation.
The MBTA is exempt from the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Statute. This means the MBTA will not pay medical bills for passengers on its buses, which differs from vehicles covered by most Massachusetts Standard Automobile policies.

DOES THE MBTA PAY BUS AND SUBWAY ACCIDENT CLAIMS?

At Jason Stone Injury Lawyers, we’ll do everything we can to get you compensation as fast as possible. Our MBTA accident attorneys have years of experience fighting for the rights of bus and subway accident victims, and we want to help you, too.
