The train accident attorneys of Lipsig, Shapey,Manus & Moverman have helped many victims of injuries that occurred on New York City train tracks. If a person falls onto a track and is injured, we will investigate that case to see if there was negligence in the maintenance of the train station that contributed to the victims injuries.
Private citizens account for the majority of train accident fatalities. Frequently, railroad employees are also injured in train accidents, and they may have special rights that entitle them to direct compensation from their employers under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA).
