Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 90-day notice requirement for NJ Transit claims?

The New Jersey Tort Claims Act requires injury victims to file a Notice of Tort Claim with NJ Transit within 90 days of the accident. This is a strict procedural requirement. Failure to comply typically results in permanent loss of your claim against the transit authority. Cellino Law files this notice immediately and handles all subsequent steps.

What if I was a passenger on the bus?

Passengers injured on buses have claims against the bus operator, the transit authority, and any third-party driver who contributed to the crash. As a passenger you bear no fault for the accident. Cellino Law will identify every source of compensation available.

How long do I have to file a bus accident lawsuit in New Jersey?

New Jersey’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to seek compensation. Contact Cellino Law promptly to protect your rights.
