Has your bus ever stopped short throwing you to the floor?
Have you ever slipped on a soaking wet subway platform?
Has a bus or subway door ever closed on your arm and injured you?
Millions of people ride public transportation each year. Unfortunately, for those of us who do, we quickly realize that many of the subway stations are dark, ancient and in desperate need of modernization. Likewise, the bus stop areas are often made up of broken and uneven sidewalks and getting on and off the bus can be treacherous. This leads to accidents. Some examples are:
- falls off a bus
- falls onto subway platforms
- sudden stops
- closing doors
- bus collisions
- subway station assaults
- caught in subway doors
- being dragged
Subways, public buses and the stations are generally the responsibility of the City, the Transit Authority or other public service company and have Statutes of Limitations or deadlines that require starting your lawsuit quickly or losing your right to do so forever.
