New York City Subway Accident Lawyer
Subway Accident Attorney in NYC
The subways in New York City are heavily used by millions of citizens, travelers and visitors every day. When you enter the subway, you expect the operator of the train to be well-trained in his or her job and you also assume that you will arrive at your destination safely. For the most part, the two previous statements hold true. However, occasionally subway accidents do occur. When they do, the results can be catastrophic.
Subway trains require diligent repair and maintenance, especially because they operate so frequently and with so many passengers. If the owners and operators of the trains are negligent or careless in any necessary repairs, the train could malfunction and cause an injury. Some common injuries involving subway cars could include the following:
- Injuries related to sudden stops
- Injuries caused by a body part slammed in the subway doors
- Caught/dragged by the subway
- Injuries related to poor lighting, debris, trash or other obstructions
- Injuries related to negligent or no maintenance/repair
The above injuries could include:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Back injuries
- Neck injuries
- Broken bones
- Dismemberment
- Contusions/lacerations
- Sprains
- Ligament/tendon injuries
- Burns
