Bronx Train Gap Injury Attorney
On an average weekday, hundreds of thousands of passengers rely on the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, Harlem Line and New Haven Line to get them to their destinations. All of these passengers are entitled to the highest level of care for their safety.
I am Daniel A. Kalish, a Metro-North train accident attorney dedicated to pursuing fair money damages for injured passengers throughout the New York metro area, including the Bronx and Westchester County. If you have been injured, contact me today for a free consultation.
Holding the MTA Accountable for Excessive Gaps
The most common type of injury on the Metro-North occurs when a passenger trips and falls in the gap between the train and the platform. Certain stations have very wide gaps, and "watch the gap" signs are often located where they are not very visible, or missing altogether.
Train gap falls can result in serious fractures and crush injuries. These accidents can be particularly severe when a train starts moving while someone is trapped in the gap.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) usually reacts to these accidents by blaming them on the passengers who have been injured. Several injured passengers, however, have set precedents by fighting the MTA in court and winning compensation for train gap injuries.
Pursuing All Types of Train Accident Claims
I have the experience to stand up for clients who have been injured on the Metro-North as a result of train gap accidents and other accidents, such as collisions and derailments. I am fully prepared to take cases to trial, if necessary, to get the results my clients deserve.
If you have been injured due to the negligence of the MTA, you are required to file your claim within 90 days of your accident. To get an experienced lawyer working on your case right away, contact my office today to schedule an appointment.
