Woman Sues TfL After Losing Limbs in Tube Accident, Calls for Safety Review

Sarah de Lagarde demands accountability and safety improvements from Transport for London following a life-altering accident at High Barnet station.

Sarah de Lagarde, who lost an arm and leg in a Tube accident at High Barnet station in September 2022, is suing Transport for London (TfL) for not accepting responsibility.
De Lagarde claims TfL's safety procedures are outdated and has called for an independent review, following her accident which she believes was preventable.
Despite interventions from Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has declined meetings with de Lagarde to discuss safety on the transport network.
De Lagarde's legal action highlights a broader concern for safety on London's transport network, with calls for TfL to acknowledge failures and innovate.
TfL maintains that safety is a top priority and is responding to the legal claim, while expressing sympathy for de Lagarde and her family.
