New York Train Accident Lawyers

The Raphaelson & Levine Law Firm has experience handling train and subway accidents including cases against the New York City Transit Authority, LIRR, Metro North and The Port Authority of the State of New York. Our experience includes representation of many Long Island Railroad and other railroad employees who have brought lawsuits directly against their employers as a result of the Federal Employee Liability Act. This Act is one of the few expectations that provides jurisdiction and opportunity for employee to sue their employers.

Our New York Train Accident Lawyers know that the safety of state employees is tied to the mandates of the FELA Act. Recently our office has consulted with a former head of the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) in obtaining expert information and guidance regarding an accident involving a Port Authority employee who was killed as a result of the Air Train that operates from Jamaica, Queens to Kennedy Airport. The resources of our law firm helped bring a $5.325 million dollar settlement to the family of the young man who was killed in this case.
