Trip and Fall on Subway Grating - $1,600,000 Verdict
Our client suffered a badly fractured elbow, requiring surgery, when he was walking down the street and tripped on a raised portion of the subway grating on the sidewalk. We demonstrated that the Transit Authority failed to inspect and repair the subject area and that Transit Authority personnel were supposed to check each subway grating on a monthly basis. The jury agreed that the failure by the Transit Authority to correct the defect resulted in our client's fall.
