Subway Accident Lawyer in Queens

You could have a personal injury claim against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) if you were injured while riding a subway train, while you were waiting for a train on the platform, or while you were walking through a subway station or concourse.  

Some other scenarios that may be eligible for a personal injury claim include,

• You were injured while boarding or stepping onto the train or while stepping off of the train at your stop.
• You were injured by a defective object or piece of equipment at a subway station or onboard a subway train, such as a defective subway turnstile.
• You were injured in a slip-and-fall accident at a subway station caused by a hazard such as a leak on the floor or a broken step in the station.
• You fell and were injured because the train came to an abrupt, violent halt.

Even if you’re not sure of the cause of your injuries, you may still be able to file a claim for your damages. Contact one of the specialists at Morgan & Morgan to learn more about your legal rights and options.
