Metro-North should sue the guy for damages, even minor ones due to a delayed train and an investigation. No way should the railroad be liable for anything.

Unfortunately MNR will most likely have to pay this guy's medical bills, damages and therapy. The world we live in, lawsuits for everything. RR will be found negligent for having emergency doors that open while train is moving, or insufficient signage or no announcements made that said not to jump from moving train. The public complains about raising fares but a jury will give this guy and every one else who falls in the gap while on their phone a couple $100K.

Hey, NJT's Arrow's have big signs that say "DANGER! DO NOT GET OFF MOVING TRAIN" by the doors, perhaps MNCR now has to stoop to that level!

this is a tragic situation not to be made light of. i'm locking this and cleaning this up. Theozno - everything isn't always about you, by the way.
