Subway Accidents

The New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) stated in 2010 that over 1.6 billion people used the subway system. This public subway system transports it passengers far and wide each day and is considered the main mode of commuting transportation in New York and the surrounding areas. However, with this astounding amount of utilization, the public becomes at an even higher risk for injuries due to subway accident; and it is the MTA duty to ensure that its rider are not put in harms way. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and as such subway passengers are most often hurt, sometimes killed while riding the subway.

There are many ways in which this highly complex subway system can go askew and cause injuries to thousands of its riders. The most common of subway crashes are due to the operator negligence and carelessness; other subway related perils include; derailment from poor maintenance of railways; electrical malfunctions with the door operations; broken equipment on the subway car itself, or on in the subway terminal; slips or falls due to improper signage; and numerous criminal actions. Subways travel at high speeds within small areas in order to keep up with the stipulated schedules and passengers most often are unable to determine or see when an accident is about to occur. Injuries to the head, back, neck, spine, arm, leg, even death are all too common as a result of a subway accident. If you believe you have been in an accident that could have been prevented by the MTA you should immediately seek legal advice from an attorney at the Law Office of Aleksandr Vakarev Esq.
