When are Mass Transit Legal Claims Possible?Mass transit accidents often lead to injuries. One issue is that buses, trains, and other public transportation vehicles tend to be much larger than passenger cars and therefore exert more force in a collision. In addition, most trains, buses, and other public transportation vehicles do not involve seatbelts and other safety devices. In the event of an accident, you may be thrown about the vehicle, crashing into other passengers or into their suitcases and other personal property. If you have been injured while using public transportation, you may have a claim if your injury was caused by negligence or recklessness.
