You’re to blame
The rule of thumb in lawsuits for negligence is never apologize and never explain. The TTC is going further by saying that a woman who got pushed in front of a train by another woman back in April is responsible for her own peril. The woman survived by rolling out of the way of an oncoming train. But now she’s suing the TTC for negligence. Maybe the antiquated subway lines in Toronto (with absolutely no protection against falls) are municipal negligence. Or not. But the transit lawyers are saying the victim “chose to stand close to the edge of the platform,” and “failed to pay due care and attention to her surroundings”. CBC
