How Train Doors Cause Significant New York Train Accidents

Most of the time subway and train doors do what they have been designed to do. They open and close at the right times and protect railroad employees and riders. However, when the doors malfunction the results can be catastrophic.

If you have been hurt by train doors, then you may be entitled to damages. Contact a New York FELA attorney at 1-800-362-9329 for more information.

Common Causes of Train Door Injuries

Typically train or subway door accidents happen in one of two ways. Either the doors open when they shouldn't or they close too early. When doors open too early, workers and passengers are at risk of exiting a moving train or exiting a train where there is no platform. Either way, the risk is real and serious for those who are near the open doors.

When doors close too early, they risk closing on passengers, workers or their belongings. The impact of the door closing can cause the injury, or the train can start to move with the person caught in the door.

That person can get hurt by being caught in the door and being dragged while the train is moving. One of the worst case scenarios is being caught in a train door while you are on the platform and the train starts to move.

What to Do if You've Been Injured in a Train Door Accident

If you have been hurt in a New York train accident that was caused by defective doors or for any other reason, then you may be entitled to damages for your injuries. Whether you've been hurt on the subway, commuter rail or any other type of railroad, please call an experienced New York FELA lawyer who will evaluate your case and help you get the recovery that you deserve after a New York train door accident.
