Subway Accidents
Holding the MTA, TA, and Other Systems Accountable for Negligence
At the Law Office of Stephen R. Krawitz, in Manhattan, you will find attorneys who know both premises liability and municipal liability law. Aspects of both may come into play when you need to take action due to a fall or other accident involving the subway system. If you have been injured on a subway platform or commuter train, we will evaluate your case free of charge.
With So Much Activity and So Many Passengers, Accidents Do Happen
The New York City subway system is a critical artery and an amazing system, providing literally billions of rides for citizens and commuters each year. Maintaining its trains, buses, platforms, stops and other requires a substantial portion of the $10 billion-plus annual budget allotted to the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA)—often called simply the “TA”.
Falls and Other Subway-Related Actions May Justify a Claim to Recover Damages
Although bus accidents are surprisingly infrequent and subway train accidents thankfully very rare, you or a family member may be one of many people hurt in a subway accident such as:
- A fall caused by a gap between the platform and train
- A slip-and-fall accident on an icy or snow-covered platform
- A fall down poorly maintained steps into or out of a subway station
All premises liability cases can depend on your lawyer's ability to recover evidence of negligence before it is repaired or removed. Fast action is essential for effective legal action against a government entity or agency such as the MTA, due to strict legal time limits and deadlines for filing your claim.
