New York Subway Accident Lawyer Adnan Munawar Comments on Major Subway Derailment in Queens
(PRWEB) May 06, 2014 -- The New York Times is reporting alarming news out of Queens for New York City commuters today. (Subway Train Derailed in Queens, May 2, 2014). Around 10:30 am, an F train derailed approximately 1200 feet outside of the station at 65th street and Broadway in Queens. Authorities had to reach passengers who were stranded underground and escort them to safety.
In all, 19 people were reported injured with four potentially serious injuries. Passengers were still being evacuated as of 12:30 p.m. and massive delays ensued across several other train lines. There has been no official explanation for the derailment, though there appeared to be track damage at the derailment site. There was no apparent structural damage. Passengers and witnesses described the scene as chaotic with clouds of dust sweeping through the subway tunnel.
“Fortunately, it appears everyone survived the incident and all those injured hopefully will make a full recovery” said Adnan Munawar, Partner at Munawar & Andrews-Santillo LLP. “Train derailments are terrifying because victims have no ability to escape the situation and there are no seatbelts or comparable safety measures inside of trains as there are in cars. We should all be grateful that this was not worse and that it seems everyone involved is going to ultimately be ok.”
“Of course, those who were directly affected by today’s derailment will need to be compensated for their losses, particularly those who were injured, and it is important for them or anyone who is ever in an accident to gather as much information as possible while still at the scene and to contact a lawyer right away about what to do next. With subway accidents, you have government involvement, and knowing how to proceed with a claim is even more vital as it is far more difficult than filing a private suit. Furthermore, train accidents are complicated and figuring out the exact cause of the accident requires the use of expert witnesses. If you or someone you love has been in a train or subway accident, you should contact an attorney and start protecting your rights immediately. Consulting with a personal injury attorney is free and you only ever pay if you win, so you can call today at no cost to you.”
