Why You Need a Lawyer

Determining responsibility in such cases can be complicated, as there may be a number of entities involved, depending on where and how the accident occurred. This may include:

• The local and/or state transportation authority in charge of ensuring that safety measures are in place and protocols are being followed
• Any operators or crewmembers
• Any other passengers (including yourself)

At The Law Offices of Jay S. Knispel, we can handle all these complex legal proceedings while you focus on healing and recovery. This includes conducting investigations, determining who was liable and filing the claim to pursue compensation on your behalf.

The most common types and causes of subway-related injurious incidents include:
