On October 21, 2019, James Pagliaro was working at a Metro-North facility when he suffered a crush injury after being pinned between two motor vehicles temporarily on the railroad tracks. Pagliaro was transported to Bridgeport Hospital via ambulance and treated for numerous injuries. Metro-North possesses a surveillance video of the incident that it has refused to turn over. In order to properly prepare the case for litigation, the lawsuit was filed seeking that critical evidence through an equitable bill of discovery. After obtaining and evaluating the surveillance evidence, suit will be filed against the responsible parties. As a result of the debilitating crush injuries, Pagliaro has been out of work, sustained a significant loss of income, and continues to incur expenses for medical care and rehabilitation therapy.
