Partner John Wynne Secures Another Dismissal for BMM Client.

Partner John V. Wynne secured another dismissal for a BMM client who operates buses in the City of New York. The plaintiff sued our client’s employee, a bus operator, alleging negligence which resulted in serious injuries to the plaintiff. By the time the plaintiff commenced suit, direct action against the bus company was already time-barred. 

Mr. Wynne immediately moved for dismissal, arguing that as an employee of the bus company, which is a Public Authority, the bus operator was entitled to application of the same abbreviated statute of limitations and therefore dismissal was warranted.   The court agreed and all claims were dismissed.
