New York Train Accident Lawyer Adnan Munawar Weighs-in on Raging Train Safety Debate

NEW YORK, April 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ABC News is reporting of outrage among concerned citizens after what was almost another deadly incident involving a Metro North Train. (Rash of Accidents at Train Crossings Raise Car Safety Questions, March 23, 2015). Deborah Molodofsky is telling reporters that she has such a close call at a Metro-North Railroad crossing in Chappaqua last week that she is vowing never to drive there again.

Locals are saying it was the same scenario that ended in tragedy in Vahalla early last month. They say that during certain hours, due to the crossing's proximity to a high school, traffic builds up and some young, impatient drivers are at risk of getting stuck on the tracks. The long term goal is to build a bridge so that the train and cars do not cross paths, but in the mean time citizens are demanding that local leaders repaint lines and road markers and start a campaign to raise awareness of traffic safety at trains.

"Well all saw what happened last month, when tragedy struck not only a driver stranded on the tracks, but also several people riding within the train," said Adnan Munawar, Partner at Munawar & Andrews-Santillo LLP. "Train safety is not to be taken lightly, and I laud these local citizens for standing up and calling on authorities to provide greater protection. There are often no second chances with train accidents and hopefully the people's voices will be heard. We have seen far to many train accidents as of late."

"When accidents happen as a result officials not taking their responsibilities seriously, it is particularly vital that victims and their families know what to do. For one, filing claims against a city or municipal government can feel impossible, as there is a whole other level of process you have to go through. Secondly, train accidents can involve an array of potential defendants, and figuring out who is responsible for what can prove to be extremely complicated. Finally, it is essential to hold negligent officials accountable to deter them from taking the safety of others lightly. And remember, retaining a personal injury attorney is always free, and you only pay a fee when you collect, so there is truly no barrier to representation."
