In Ynoa v. New York City Transit Authority, associate attorney Eliot Bickoff represented a 35-year-old nurse who suffered a fractured foot when it was caught in a defective high exit turnstile as she exited a subway station. The turnstile consisted of horizontal metal bars mounted on a rotating pole that permit subway riders to exit a station. The jury was presented with evidence at trial, including photographs of the rusted turnstile and the station inspection records, that demonstrated that the plaintiff’s foot was crushed due to a missing bar at ground level. The jury found the defendant was at fault in failing to timely make repairs, and awarded $300,000 to compensate the plaintiff for her pain and suffering and the permanent injury to her foot.
