Public Transportation Accidents in San Diego
Involved in an accident with a train, trolley, or bus?
When we step onto the bus or The Trolley, we expect it to deliver us where we want to go, safely and relatively on time. After all, the drivers of light rail trains, trolleys, school buses, metro buses, taxicabs, and shuttle buses are supposed to be highly trained. Each day they are entrusted with the safety of their passengers and other motorists on the road. Sometimes, however, they are not properly trained or they make an error.
Such inexperience can lead to disastrous results.
When the bus isn't on time, it is not a violation of our legal rights. However, when a person gets hurt or killed in a light rail or bus accident, the disabled individual or the family of the deceased may indeed have a legal right to compensation for the loss. If you've been injured in a trolley accident or other public transportation accident, our personal injury lawyers may be able to help you recover compensation from the responsible organization.
The Importance of Acting Quickly After an Accident
All personal injury and wrongful death claims must be brought within certain time limits. If the claim is against a mass transit agency such as the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, you may have to act even more quickly to secure your right to seek compensation via a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
