Mother who lost her arm and leg when she fell down gap on Tube platform and was hit by two trains ‘contributed’ to her own life-changing injuries, claims TfL in £25m lawsuit

According to London for London, two city workers who lost their arm and leg after hitting two tube trains ‘contributed to their life -changing injuries’.

46 -year -old Sarah De Lagarde shifted on a wet platform at the Hight Barnet Station in North London in September 2022, and the gap between the train and the platform.

But nobody heard their desperate crying for help, and after he was shot by two trains, he was taken to the hospital where his limbs were cut.

The PR Man, who currently uses two prosthesis limbs, including a bionic arm, has started a legal war against London Underground Ltd (Lul), London for London for London (TFL) since then.

However, in the defense documents presented by TFL to the Supreme Court by the legal team, London standard‘It is claimed that the incident was caused by or contributes from the negligence of the plaintiff.

Public transport network, Mrs. De Lagarde’nin ‘he brought himself to a danger position’ because he said ‘neglect’ about how he left the train.

Ms. De Lagarde, the head of the city investment company Janus Henderson’s corporate affairs, returned home when the accident occurred on September 30, 2022 at 22.00.

He fell asleep and at the end of the northern line at the High Barnet Station, he woke up by another passenger eight miles away from the return stop to Camden.

Mrs. De Lagarde was depicted in the trauma ward after the accident.

His wife and mother fell on the runway at the Hight Barnet Station at home after she fell asleep and missed the aim.

After getting off the train, he realized that he had returned in the same way and took a step back to return. But he fell on the runway from the void.

According to the TFL defense: ‘The plaintiff took a few steps on the platform and then took a few steps back before hitting the back of the train where the body was released.

‘The plaintiff continued to move back and fell into the void between the five and six cars of the train about seven seconds after leaving the train.’

About five minutes later, the train driver returned to the train to reach the driver’s taxi to start his return journey to the south.

MS also noticed that Lagarde was stuck between the train and the platform and then stuck between the platform he gave to the lost properties. But he didn’t investigate any more.

TFL’s defense, the driver ‘did not see or heard the plaintiff at this point, and did not look at the void that has no reason to do it’, he said.

He called for help, but no one came and the train left the platform and brought his right arm.

He managed to reach his phone, but his face was very badly injured, his face identity did not work and he was more wet than the rain to work the touch screen, so he tried to shout again for help.

But again, nobody came. And then a second train came over his right leg.

While standing outside the royal justice courts in the center of London last February,: ‘There was no staff on this platform and no one was watching CCTV. Nobody had answered my screams for help.

‘He crushed my twenty -two tons of steel limbs, and if this wasn’t bad enough, I stayed on the runway until the second train reached the station and crushed me for the second time.

“ I climbed the Kilimanjaro Mountain with my husband a few weeks before hitting two tube trains, which was my lifelong dream.

“ I felt on the top of the world and changed overnight. Now I’m seriously disabled for life. ‘

TFL says the driver of the second train did not see that MS de Lagarde lies on the track, although the headlights of the train continued.

However, TFL said that their goal was to ‘illuminate the runways or the platform’, but to make the train visible for the workers on the runway.

Mrs. De Lagarde was on the runway for 15 minutes before the alarm was upgraded and London’s fire department and London’s air ambulance medical officers run to the scene.

Three Air Ambulance Health Officer, Dr Benjamin marriage and medical staff Chris Doyle and Kevin Cuddon received the National Courage Award.

Mr. Cuddon said: ‘Sarah stuck in a very strange position, so I crawled on the train to help the London fire department remove it.

‘Together we had to put it on a device to carry it about 30 meters under the train and to lift it to the platform.

‘He was really quiet, pale and lost some blood.’

Ms. De Lagarde had taken a step into the ‘accessibility hump’ with the slope of a ramp designed to facilitate the ride of wheelchair users on trains.

Ms. De Lagarde was shot by two trains during the fall of fear in September 2022.

An investigation by TFL is that the ramp is ‘compatible with the standards of TFL in principle’ and that the passengers who stepped into the base of the platform ramp were accepted as an optimal arrangement

Mrs. De Lagarde remained conscious and continued to cry for help ‘he says.

His claim says: ‘The closest to the station platform was partially lying on the first rail of the runway.

‘The plaintiff tried to maneuver his right foot and leg along the first rail to get his mobile phone. He shouted for help, but nobody came to help. ‘

Since it was blocked by a steel frame and ‘over -ballast’, it could not be moved to a recess area on the platform wall.

It is discussed by TFL that there are different security procedures for trains separated from a Terminus station, even contrary to another station.

“The same controls are required to send a train from the Terminus station and a non -terminal station, TF said TFL.

Ms. De Lagarde was sent to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, where she underwent surgery before she was transferred to the Amputee Rehabilitation Unit in Lambeth on October 20th.

He was discharged from home on December 1, 2022. Ms. De Lagarde took constant care at the Royal National Orthopedics Hospital in Stanmore.

A TFL spokesman: ‘We respond to a legal claim brought by Sarah de Lagarde.

It is not appropriate to discuss the details of our defense while this case continues.

‘Our thoughts continue to be with Sarah and his family following this terrible event, and we will continue to make any possible efforts to learn from any incident in the tube network.

‘Security is our priority and we will always place it in the front ranks of our thought.’
