New York Subway Accident Attorneys

For over four million New Yorkers, the subway is the main mode of transportation each day, and is used to get to work, school, and run errands. Unfortunately, many subways are not up to par. Many require major restorations, while others need minor, yet, important repairs. For example, inadequate lighting in a dark subway station may enable a criminal to easily mug or assault an unsuspecting victim. If warning signs are not posted in plain view subway riders may not be aware of present dangers and may get hurt.

If you are a regular subway rider or only use the subway occasionally you may be at risk for many dangerous situations. The following is a short list of possible subway-related hazards:

• Being electrified by train tracks
• Robbery
• Assault
• Rape
• Turn style injury
• Subway door injury
• Slip and fall
• Fractured bones

In New York the Transit Authority is responsible for the maintenance of the subway system and may be held legally responsible for any injuries suffered to subway riders. Riding the subway should be a safe and pleasant experience for everyone. If you have suffered an injury on the subway you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, and loss of wages.
