I haven't followed such cases in detail, so I don't know answer to you question with any certainty. I have read that teens who were tagging and injured, one or two killed by normal activity of the subway (not being shot by cops) won cases against the MTA.I recall the case of a homeless dude who was sleeping on the tracks while rolled up in a bunch of debris (so he looked like a pile of papers), was run over, survived (!) and had a leg cut off. He won several million from the subway. Maybe that was overturned on appeal. I can't understand how that case was won even once, as he was a) trespassing b)reckless and c) the train was operating normally, it didn't exactly jump off the tracks to go hit him. Maybe that one was never paid, but the last I'd heard we the average schucks were out of $2M worth of repairs, maintenance or whatever the MTA would have done with the $$. |
