Public transportation provides a tremendous service to millions of residents of New York City – and most of us enjoy the convenience without giving a second thought to safety. However, public transportation depends on people to maintain equipment, road ways, and trains. When the people responsible for public transportation fail in their duty to maintain safe, functioning modes of travel – serious accidents and injuries can occur.
With so many people traveling the boroughs of New York, there are numerous opportunities for public transportation slip and falls, including:
- Raised sidewalk grating near bus stops;
- Holes, depressions and cracks in the subway tunnel entrances;
- Sidewalk vaults and defective access panels;
- Improper snow and ice removal near bus stops and subway entrances;
- Poor signage around subway platforms;
- Inadequate lighting in subway tunnels;
- Poorly maintained platform surfaces in subway tunnels.
Regardless of how you fell, if you have fallen and become hurt on New York public transportation, including trains, subways, ferries or buses, you may need compensation for serious injuries and resulting medical care. However, obtaining compensation can be complex when you are dealing with city and state transportation authorities. Suing the Metropolitan Transit Authority requires a well-prepared case and a public transportation lawyer familiar with state premises liability and transportation law. Slip and fall claims are not all equal – and it is often more difficult to recover the damages you may be entitled to when your slip and fall accident involves a city or state municipality.
