I forget which station, but he'd gotten drunk, fell off the platform, and part of him met the business end of an N train (if I'm recalling right)

There was another one, similar, but several years before that that reached verdict just about the same time. Another drunk, fell off the platform, and received the amputation courtesy of NYCT. The issues in that one were the slow speed of the train and multiple witnesses who said that the train could have stopped but didn't.

Jury found something like 65/35 liability split but they were both multimillion dollar verdicts. Both on appeal now, as I recall. There's a decent chance that the second one will be reversed, I think, for technical reasons. Not sure about the first.
