More than a million people make use of New York City’s subway system every year, with more than 65 million people making use of the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) and more than 67 million making use of the Metro-North Railroad, according to the 2024 MTA Annual Ridership Report. Each of these millions of people rely on the subway and railroads to be safe for their use, and for the most part, it is. However, it may take only one mistake by the MTA to create the conditions that can lead to an accident.
The Shikh Law Firm has spent decades helping victims of subway and train accidents throughout the Five Boroughs and beyond. We know just how devastating an accident can be, and the pain and suffering that can ensue from these types of injuries. That is why we work hand in hand with our clients to ensure they get an outcome that protects their rights and interests.
We assist clients with a variety of types of subway and train accidents, including but not limited to:
- Train track accidents
- Accidents on train and subway platforms
- Slip and fall accidents
- Injuries caused by inadequate security
- Injuries due to improper maintenance or repairs
Whether you are a resident of the city or a commuter, or just someone who enjoys a train ride, you have a right to be safe and secure on your trip. However, negligent and reckless conduct on the part of the MTA can create the conditions that make accidents more likely. That is why it is important to hold them responsible, not only to get justice for those who have been hurt, but also to prevent similar incidents in the future.
