Pursuing Train Injury and Wrongful Death Claims

Statistically, travel by train is far safer than driving a car. Accidents do happen, however, and if you are injured, you need an attorney to protect your right to compensation. With multiple authorities involved, including the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Long Island Rail Road or Metro North Railway, working through the liability in a train accident case is a complex issue.

You can rely on the experience of the attorneys at Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool, L.L.P. We have represented numerous injured train passengers and are familiar with the railway and transit authorities. Whether you suffered the injury or lost a family member to a train accident, we can help. For a free consultation with our New York train accident attorneys, please call 877-394-1329 or contact us online.

Seeking Damages From the Negligent Parties

Train accidents that occur while onboard can include collisions, sudden stops or derailment. The force of these accidents can knock passengers to the floor or into the sides of the train, causing broken bones, back and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, concussions and brain injuries. If the train car crumples on impact, passengers can suffer fatal crush injuries.

Our attorneys will investigate the cause of the train accident, reviewing the train's maintenance history as well as the driver's record. If negligent acts by the driver, MTA or specific railway caused your injury, we will seek compensation from each liable party.

We also handle cases for people who are injured in the station or on the platform. These cases may involve train malfunctions, operator error, premises liability and issues such as assault. We represent individuals injured by:

• Turnstile malfunctions
• Train doors closing on limbs or clothing
• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Snow and ice on the platform
• Inadequate lighting
• Falls onto the tracks
• Poor security
• Missing warning signs

In addition, we represent pedestrians and drivers injured in railroad crossing accidents.
