MTA killed our sex life: suit

An MTA painter was hit by a “fireball” while toiling on an elevated line in Brooklyn — and his injuries were so severe that he can no longer have sex with his wife, he charges in a new lawsuit.

Carlos Lainez, who works for MTA contractor American Venture, was painting the elevated Ltrain tracks near the Livonia Avenue station last September when a set of wire cables exploded and engulfed him in flames.

He was set afire by the blast, which left him unable to perform for his wife, Daisy, who is also listed as a plaintiff in the Brooklyn Supreme Court filing.

“Daisy Lainez lost the support, services, love, companionship, affection, society, sexual relations, solace of her husband,” the suit claims.

Carlos Lainez, who is a member of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, was bedridden for months after the blast, according to the suit.

He was painting the structure as a train passed by and set off the explosion, said his boss, Alan Fransisco.

“There was a spark that came out of the passing train,” he said.

Lainez’s attorney, Monty Doman, says in the suit that the wires on the tracks were loose, exposed, and ungrounded, and that the MTA was completely negligent in letting that happen.

MTA officials declined to comment.
