Do You Ride Public Transportation in Kansas City?; Subway Accident in NY Sends Screenwriter to Hospital with Head Injury

At Roswold Law Group, some of the most tragic cases we deal with are victims of severe head injuries and traumatic brain injuries, also known as TBI.

 

Recently, an Academy Award nominated screenwriter suffered a severe head trauma when he was struck by a subway car in New York City.  The writer, Will Rokas, known for the film, "Monster's Ball" was struck while waiting for a train at the 14th Street station at Seventh Avenue in NY, when he leaned over the track to look down the tunnel.  Rokas was struck, tossing him across the platform.

 

Witness reports indicate the victim attempted to get up, but several people managed to keep him still until paramedics could get to the scene.  He was listed in critical condition wit a severe head injury.

 

The experienced Kansas and Missouri Brain Injury Lawyers of Roswold Law Group in Kansas City are dedicated to protecting you in the event of an accident.  Head injuries can have serious and long lasting effects that can cause damage for days to even months after the initial injury.  Treatment for a head injury should begin immediately.  

 

While this case may have taken place in New York, it can be applied to life in Kansas City.  Traffic in downtown Kansas City can often be very dangerous.  Many people often ride public transportation like the bus and spend a lot of time standing curb side waiting for the next bus to come along.  Be sure you are staing off the edge of the sidewalk.  Passing cars and trucks aren't always thinking to look our for those standing and waiting for the bus.  Avoid injuries by being the one to pay attention.

 

Severe head injuries often have lingering effects that may not be detectable for months after an injury.
