San Francisco Public Transportation Injury Lawyers
Cartwright - August 14, 2020 -
About 775,000 people use public transportation in the San Francisco area on a daily basis, and transit use has increased by five percent in the past decade, according to trend reports. While there are many benefits of using public transportation instead of driving a personal vehicle each day, this also means that many people are at risk of being injured in public transit accidents. These accidents are relatively rare, but when they occur, they often have devastating results.
Many people injured in this manner have the right to seek compensation from the transit company liable for the accident. These cases are often highly complicated, but the good news is that our San Francisco public transportation injury lawyers are ready to help. Consult with The Cartwright Law Firm, Inc. about a possible case right away – you have no time to lose.
Claims for Public Transportation Injuries
San Francisco has many options when it comes to public transit. Our team has handled all types of cases, including claims stemming from the following:
- Public bus accidents
- Streetcar accidents
- Cable car accidents
- Light rail accidents
- Train accidents
- Trolley bus accidents
- Private bus accidents
- Ferry accidents
- Shuttle bus accidents
- Taxi accidents
- Rideshare accidents
The above types of crashes can injure transit passengers, pedestrians, motorists in other vehicles, cyclists, and more.
If you sustained injuries in this type of crash, the process of seeking compensation is more complex than filing an insurance claim against an individual driver. There might be many parties involved, such as:
- San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA)
- Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
- Caltrain
- SamTrans
- Other area transit providers
- Private tour bus companies, such as Greyhound
- Taxi companies
- Uber or Lyft
- Airports, hotels, or rental car companies operating shuttles
These claims involve dealing with the MUNI claims department, rail and bus operators and supervisors, transportation experts, and more.
Do Not Delay in Discussing a Claim
If you were injured in a public transportation accident, you might be tempted to rest and focus on your injuries for a while before adding legal concerns to your plate. However, you only have six months to file a claim against MUNI or other public transit agencies in California. This is a shorter time period than claims against regular drivers or other private entities. You should never delay in consulting with a lawyer who can help.
Our legal team takes on public and private transit companies, and we are prepared to seek the maximum settlement you deserve. These companies generally work hard to avoid liability, but we know how to stand up for the rights of our injured clients.
