Ore. Woman sues TriMet, blaming malfunctioning train doors for broken hip

A 77-year-old Portland woman who broke her hip and pelvis after the doors of a crowded MAX train closed on her last fall is suing TriMet for $251,000. Raissa Moore’s complaint, filed Thursday in Multnomah County Circuit Court, blames the train operator and TriMet’s failure "to maintain its doors" so that they don’t close on boarding passengers. The October 22, 2013, incident occurred at the Oregon Convention Center station. Moore and a friend had just left an event when an eastbound Blue Line train pulled up to the platform and its doors opened.
