Passenger awarded nearly $23 million in damages after losing five fingers in New York subway crash

For losing all five toes of his left foot and several serious fractures in a crash at a New York subway station, a court awarded a Bangladeshi man – now a U.S. citizen – $22.75 million in compensation. The then 24-year-old immigrant tripped over a damaged section of the platform and fell onto the tracks just in front of an oncoming train. He miraculously survived, but suffered serious injuries. The MTA, which was ordered to pay compensation, is reviewing the ruling and has not ruled out an appeal.

In 2017, Maruf Hossain, then 24, a Bangladeshi food delivery man, tripped over a damaged platform at Parkchester Underground Station, causing him to fall onto the tracks. He was then hit by a train, removing all five toes from his left foot. He also suffered a broken pelvis, a dislocated hip and spinal injuries.

The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) offered the victim a $100,000 settlement, but he rejected the offer and asked for $20.48 million in damages. A jury recently awarded him $2.27 million more than he asked for. In total, Hossain is to receive $22.75 million from the MTA.

During the trial, MTA lawyers tried to argue that the man jumped onto the tracks intentionally, trying to commit suicide. That argument was rejected. Hossain underwent psychiatric evaluations and denied ever attempting suicide. He attributed his fasting—which MTA lawyers also pointed out in the context of Hossain’s health—to fasting for Ramadan. The man also had no history of mental illness or substance abuse.

The court ruling could still be challenged. The MTA said in a statement that it is reviewing the ruling and considering further legal action.

For the loss of all five fingers of the left foot and several serious fractures during an accident at one of the New York metro stations, the court awarded a man from Bangladesh - currently a US citizen - $ 22.75 million in damages. The 24-year-old immigrant stumbled over the damaged part of the platform and fell on the track just before the oncoming train. He miraculously survived, but suffered serious injuries. MTA, which has been obliged to pay compensation, analyzes the judgment and does not exclude the appeal.

In 2017, 24-year-old Maruf Hossain-a supplier of food from Bangladesh-stumbled over the damaged platform element at the metro station in the Parkchester district, as a result of which he fell on the tracks. Immediately afterwards he was hit by a train. The circles of the warehouse deprived Hossain with all five fingers on the left foot. The man also suffered a pelvic fracture, hip dislocation and spinal injuries.

The New York Metropolitan Transport Board (MTA) proposed a settlement of 100,000 to the injured party. dollars, but he rejected the offer and demanded $ 20.48 million in damages. Recently, the jury awarded him compensation by $ 2.27 million higher than requested. In total, Hossain is to receive $ 22.75 million from MTA.

During the trial, MTA lawyers tried to prove that the man jumped on the tracks intentionally, trying to commit suicide. This argument has been rejected. Hossain underwent psychiatric examinations and denied that he ever had suicide attempt. Being on an empty stomach - which was also noticed by MTA lawyers in the context of Hossain's health - he explained to Ramadan's post. The man also did not have the history of mental illness and addictions.
