Subway Train Hits Woman on Tracks | NYC Train Accident Attorneys

February 29, 2012 By Michael Hecht

A woman was hit by a subway train in Manhattan on Tuesday evening at the bustling 42nd St. Station in Midtown, police said.  The victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital after being struck by the northbound “E” train headed from the World Trade Center to Parsons Blvd. Police are investigating why the woman was on the tracks. Although her condition was not reported, police say she was alive when taken to the hospital.

Subway accidents involving pedestrians are often fatal because of the sheer size and weight of the train. Often, it is the train operator who was negligent in causing the accident. People who lose loved ones in train accidents should consult with an experienced attorney to discuss filing a lawsuit against the negligent parties. If your loved one has been killed or injured in a subway accident, the New York City train accident attorneys at Hecht & Hecht can help you seek justice for your loss.
