Man Dragged By Train To Get $9.15M From BART

Introduction

BART officials have agreed to pay a $9.15 million compensation to a customer who was pulled by a train at Powell Street Station two years ago.

According to a complaint filed in November 2021, the event occurred on February 11, 2021, when the passenger became trapped in a door and was brutally pulled.

The allegations in the case included carelessness, violence, and mental anguish. The complaint also stated responsibility, while a BART representative stated that the settlement does not admit liability for the victim's injuries.

According to BART officials, the two parties struck a tentative agreement in November before the Board of Directors confirmed the agreement in a secret session in January 2023.

In December 2021, BART had a similar occurrence that ended tragically for a lady who was murdered after she departed a train at Powell station but she leashed dog stayed onboard. After then, the woman was dragged to her death. In such a situation, the dog was not harmed. The National Transportation Safety Board was called in to examine the incident.

BART had no more comment on the settlement announcement.
