Overview

• A Bronx civil court jury delivered the $22.75 million verdict on June 30, finding the MTA negligent in maintaining a chipped Parkchester station platform.
• The award exceeds Hossain’s original $20 million demand by $2.75 million after the authority offered just $100,000 before trial.
• The MTA said it is reviewing the verdict and assessing all legal options, including a possible appeal.
• Hossain lost all five toes on his left foot in the 2017 fall and also suffered a dislocated hip, fractured pelvis, head trauma and spinal injuries.
• The ruling adds to a series of multimillion-dollar judgments against the transit authority and spotlights concerns over aging infrastructure and station upkeep.
