Injury at Subway/Train

If New York City were a person, the subways would be the veins transporting us where we need to go. However, sometimes the system fails, and it leaves you injured. Injuries from a subway/train accident may have extreme severity, including traumatic brain injuries, paralysis and death. Injuries may also involve increased pain, less mobility and other injuries. Whether it is the fault of the city, the MTA or another person, you experienced an injustice that we want to correct for you.

Our attorneys are excellent investigators and litigators. We can determine what went wrong to cause the injury to you or your loved one and help you obtain compensation. We handle subway/train injuries involving, but not limited to:

·      Gaps in the platform

·      Harsh and sudden stops

·      Improper drainage

·      Altercations in the train car or station

·      Slip and Falls

·      Inadequate maintenance

·      Falling onto tracks

·      Train Accidents

·      Operator Errors

What do I do if I was injured on the subway/train or in the station?

Move to a safe place: Subway/train cars and platforms are filled with people constantly moving, trying to get to their next destination as quickly as possible. Try to move away from the crowded areas to somewhere calmer if you can.

Immediately call for help. You must get your injury evaluated as soon as possible to determine the severity of your injuries. Call Pre-Hospital Care (ambulance) and listen to their recommendations. Seek Medical Attention to assess the severity of your injuries.

Get witness information: If your injury happened in the subway, it is likely that someone witnessed it. Look around to see if anyone was watching and get their information.

Contact a lawyer: You have limited time to file a claim. Make sure to discuss with a lawyer on what to do going forward after an accident and what your options are.

What do I do if an accident on the subway/train killed a loved one?

If a loved one passed away prematurely because of the subway/train, then you may have a wrongful death suit. Through this difficult time, we will be there to guide you through surrogate proceedings and get compensation for the pain and suffering of losing your loved one. This is tragedy and we want to help you in whatever ways that we can.

Is the MTA Responsible for my injuries?

If you believe that the MTA is responsible for your injuries, we will investigate your accident to determine what factors contributed to your accident. If the MTA is at fault, there is a 90-day deadline from the date of your accident to serve a complaint. The 90-day deadline makes it important for you to find the right lawyer who will advocate for your case. We will go through the litigation process to get you the justice that you deserve.
