Mass Transit & Public Transportation Accidents

San Francisco Mass Transit Accident Lawyer

Mass Transit/Public Transportation Accident Attorneys

If you’ve been injured on the BART, Caltrain, or MUNI bus system, you have a very limited amount of time to pursue legal action. Having represented people injured on public transportation, The Cartwright Law Firm has the experience and knowledge necessary to hold public agencies responsible for injuries caused by their employees and equipment.

Please Call (415) 851-6486 Or Contact Us Online Today!

Because public transportation systems enjoy immunities from certain kinds of liability, a number of technical legal hurdles must be overcome in the preparation of any case. Our personal injury attorneys have been through these kinds of cases before. We know what we have to prove to ensure our clients get their day in court. We use every available legal tool the law allows for bringing justice to clients injured on trains, buses, and trolley cars.
