MTR Liable for Passenger's Slip-and-Fall Accident
2025-06-20
A passenger slipped and fell on a wet floor inside an MTR station and sued the MTR Corporation for breaching its duty of care by failing to ensure passenger safety.
The court found that the MTR had not placed sufficient warning signs or properly addressed the slippery floor, constituting negligence.
The MTR was held liable and ordered to compensate the passenger.
This case reinforces the legal responsibility of public transport operators to ensure passenger safety.
