Norfleet v. New York City Transit Authority
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
*716The plaintiff suffered the amputation of both legs above the knee as a result of being run over by one car of the defendant’s subway train. At the liability phase of the trial (see, 22 NYCRR former 699.14), the plaintiff explained that as far as he could recall, he had leaned over the platform to observe whether a train was approaching when he became dizzy and fell to the tracks. The defense adduced evidence of the plaintiff’s admissions, made within several hours of the accident at the hospital, that he had been imbibing alcohol the entire day and had simply walked onto the tracks.
