New York Subway and Long Island Train Accident Attorneys

Over 4 million people in New York rely on the subway to get around town every day. The subway system in New York is operated by the New York City Transit Authority.   The NYC Transit Authority has a legal obligation to protect its passengers by ensuring all subway trains and stations are properly maintained, and that all operators receive proper safety training. When a subway accident occurs, the NYC Transit Authority will be held liable for any negligent maintenance or operation that results in the injury of a passenger. If you have been injured in a subway accident in New York or a train accident in Long Island, you have the right to take legal action. A skilled New York subway accident lawyer can review your case and help you file a lawsuit against the New York City Transit Authority. Or a Long Island train accident lawyer can review your case and help you file a lawsuit against the Long Island Railroad.

Subway accidents can occur while riding on the subway, or in the subway station.  There are numerous circumstances that can potentially lead to a subway accident, including:

• Operator negligence
• Sudden stops
• Closing doors
• Subway crashes
• Turn style injuries
• Electrocutions
• Slips, trips, or falls that occur as a result of:
  • Broken stairs or platforms
  • Broken escalators
  • Broken or defective equipment
  • Slippery floors
  • Poor lighting
  • Hidden debris
  • Obstructed warning signs
  • Negligent maintenance

In addition, the NYC Transit Authority will also be held liable for incidents that occur as a result of negligent security in the subway or at the station, such as acts of physical assault, robbery, or rape.

If you have been injured in a subway accident in New York or a train accident in Long Island, you only have 90 days from the date of the accident to file a notice of claim against the NYC Transit Authority & the Long Island Railroad or your claim will be denied.
