New York Subway & Train Platform Accident Attorneys Serving Brooklyn, the Bronx & West Babylon
Subway and train platform accidents can leave passengers facing serious injuries, medical bills, missed work, and confusion about who may be responsible. Edward R. Young & Associates represents individuals injured on New York City subway property, Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) property, Metro-North Railroad property, train platforms, stations, stairways, elevators, escalators, and other transit areas throughout New York.
Transit Accident Claims Require Prompt Action
Cases involving public transportation are often more complicated than standard injury claims. A claim may involve the MTA, LIRR, Metro-North, a contractor, a property owner, a maintenance company, or another responsible party. These cases may also involve strict notice requirements and shorter deadlines than many other personal injury claims.
Edward R. Young & Associates works to investigate what happened, preserve available evidence, review maintenance issues, identify responsible parties, and pursue the compensation available under New York law.
