A Brooklyn woman who was struck by a subway train in 2017 has been awarded a staggering $81.7 million in damages by a New York court. The verdict, which is one of the largest in a personal injury case in New York City history, was handed down in a lawsuit against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which operates the city's subway system. The woman, who suffered severe injuries in the incident, claimed that the MTA was negligent in its maintenance and operation of the subway. The MTA has not commented on the verdict, but the decision is likely to raise questions about the safety and accountability of the city's subway system.
