Every year, more than 5,000 people are injured in accidents involving vehicles operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, or MTA, the agency responsible for overseeing public transportation in and around New York City. This includes the subways, buses, the Metro-North Railroad, and the Long Island Railroad. This also means they are responsible for ensuring these services are safe for all involved.
Unfortunately, the MTA is not always as careful as they should be, placing passengers and others at unnecessary risk of harm. That is why the Shikh Law Firm works tirelessly to help victims of MTA accidents. With our assistance, people who are injured due to MTA-operated trains, buses, and subways can seek the justice they deserve.
We help clients with a variety of different injuries they may suffer due to MTA negligence. These include, but are not limited to:
- Slip and fall accidents on subway platforms, trains and buses
- Track intrusions
- MTA Bus accidents
- Train derailments and collisions
- Subway assaults
- Unsafe conditions due to poor maintenance
