Common Causes of Subway Accidents
Subway accidents occur under different circumstances. Common causes include but are not limited to:
- Mechanical failures, such as brake or signal malfunctions
- Human errors like operator negligence or miscommunication
- Poor maintenance of subway cars and tracks can also lead to accidents,
- Insufficient safety measures.
Even before we proceed with the claim, we’ll first need to identify the cause of the accident. That’s where our team of accident investigators come in to establish what really happened and whether someone dropped the ball on your safety.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
Several parties can be held responsible for a subway accident, including but not limited to:
- the subway operator, if negligence or error played a role;
- the transit authority responsible for maintaining the system;
- equipment manufacturers, especially if a defect caused the accident; and
- contractors or maintenance crews, if poor workmanship or neglected repairs contributed to the incident.
Determining who is at fault is a key step in pursuing a successful claim. Yet, it requires access to powerful legal resources, something Morgan and Morgan boasts given that we’re America’s largest injury firm.
What Damages Can I Claim?
In a subway accident case, you can seek compensation for various damages. These may include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation costs
- Future medical care
- Loss of consortium
