What are the Most Common Types of Subway Accidents? 

Some of the most common types of accidents that occur on MTA and NYC Transit subways include: 

Treating these and other serious injuries can be extremely costly, often leading to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills. To make matters worse, many subway accident victims are unable to return to work for weeks or months; some will never be able to obtain gainful employment in the future due to their injuries. 

In addition to expensive medical bills and lost wages, subway accident victims are also likely to face significant physical pain and emotional distress as a result of their injuries. At Keith D. Silverstein & Associates, we believe that you should not have to simply deal with these challenges on your own. Instead, our New York City subway accident attorneys can help you fight for justice and the fair compensation you are owed. 

What to Do After a Subway or Train Accident

If you are involved in a subway, train, or public transportation accident, there are several things you should do to protect yourself, your wellbeing, and your right to file a future personal injury claim.

If possible, try to do the following after a subway accident:

• Seek immediate medical attention. If necessary, call 911 and wait for the paramedics and police to arrive. Do not move anyone who appears severely injured unless absolutely necessary. 
• Write down the name and number of the subway or train you were on. Take pictures of the accident scene, your injuries, and any conditions that contributed to the accident. 
• Talk to any witnesses who saw what happened and, if possible, get their name(s), contact information, and a brief statement of what they saw. 
• File an official accident report with local law enforcement and/or the subway or train operator. Request a copy of the reports and keep them for your personal records. 
• Follow all of your doctor’s recommendations and orders. Attend all follow-up appointments and take all prescribed medications. 
• Do not post on social media during your recovery. Refrain from discussing the incident with anyone other than your attorney. 
• Contact a personal injury lawyer with experience handling NYC subway accident claims as soon as possible. An attorney can help you take the next steps in seeking financial compensation.
