Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Bertram Katz, J.).
Defendant's claim that the documentation submitted to it respecting the incident in which plaintiff was allegedly injured did not, in the aggregate, constitute a valid, timely notice of claim is without merit. The record discloses that plaintiff sent a letter to defendant's counsel, at defendant's direction, reporting the incident, that a no-fault application in connection with the incident was filed by plaintiff with defendant's claims administrator, and that the driver of the bus involved in the incident submitted written and oral reports respecting the incident to defendant. Considered together, these timely submissions were at least adequate to constitute a valid notice of claim pursuant to General Municipal Law § 50-e ( see, Miller v. Liberty Lines, 208 A.D.2d 454; Losada v. Liberty Lines Tr., 155 A.D.2d 337; Gallagher v. Liberty Lines Tr., 211 A.D.2d 440).
