Representing Passengers Injured by Negligent Drivers
Public transportation authorities and their drivers owe a particularly high duty of care toward their passengers. In legal terms, they are known as common carriers. In California, this category includes the light rail system and public buses as well as private bus companies.
If you've been injured in a light rail accident or other public transportation accident, we may be able to help you recover compensation from the responsible organization.
Most public transportation accidents occur when someone is getting on or off a vehicle and the driver pulls away too quickly. Motor vehicle accidents involving public transit vehicles can also cause catastrophic injuries and even fatalities, possibly to large numbers of people.
