SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 27 – Some forms of
litigation are entirely
routinized in the Federal
courts. So it is with lawsuits
against railroads. Case in
point was heard on May 14
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Lewis J. Liman.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Back on
March 27, 2017, Brian Servat
working for LIRR in Hillside,
Queens "was guiding a
suspension steering arm up
into position using a fork
lift, the lift failed,
dropping down, causing the
knuckle to pinch the
plaintiff's finger."
He sued.
Jump cut to
May 14, 2020 when Sean
Constable for Servat faced off
with Christopher Pogan for
LIRR. Both said they have
faced each other before;
LIRR's lawyer said he usually
liked to depose the plaintiff
before settling.
So the
matter was put off for montns,
to December 3. The trains keep
running on time.
The case is
Servat v. Long Island Railroad
Company, 19-cv-11237 (Liman).
