Types of Subway Accidents

Long Island Injury Lawyers Discuss Types of Subway Accidents

New York City has one of the largest subway systems. So many use the subway every day, making
accidents a common occurrence. Accidents can occur for a variety of reasons. Some personal injury
accidents that occur include slips and falls, collisions, and assault.

Slip and fall accidents are a common injury in subways. These accidents are typically caused by wet or
slippery floors, uneven surfaces, or debris left on the ground. Victims may receive broken bones, head
injuries, and back injuries as a result.

Collision accidents can occur when a passenger falls onto the tracks, is struck by a train, or is hit by
another object. The resulting injuries can be extremely serious and can often result in death.

include physical, verbal, and sexual assault.
