Subways and trains are used by millions of New Yorkers daily. Subways and Trains remain a popular means of transportation and are generally safe. However, subway and train accidents may happen for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Inspection or maintenance violations;

• Objects on tracks such as automobiles;

• Conductor errors;

• Operator errors;

• Warning signal failures;

• Mechanical failures.

Individuals involved in such accidents, including passengers, pedestrians, conductors, and motor vehicle drivers, can receive serious and debilitating injuries, which may result in death.
