Miami Public Transportation Accident

Public transportation is often seen as an environmentally friendly and safe way to get to work and to get around town. While it is true that public transportation accidents are far rarer than car collisions in Miami and Florida, accidents involving public transit vehicles can and do occur. Worse, when they do occur it can be very difficult for plaintiffs to pursue action against regional transit authorities. These are often large entities that are protected by government agencies and it can be intimidating for the average layperson to launch a claim or to try to seek compensation from these groups.

The attorneys at Flaxman Law Group have represented thousands of people who have been injured in traffic accidents and public transportation collisions and they understand the complex issues that are involved in these types of cases. If you have been injured, we will be pleased to meet with you in a free, no obligation consultation to review your situation and to offer you legal advice.

Public transportation accidents can occur for a number of reasons, including:

• Incorrect maintenance of public transportation vehicles
• Defective vehicles or equipment
• Operator error or negligence
• Negligent hiring practices
• Incorrect training of operators or drivers
• Drunk driving or driving under the influence of illegal drugs
• Reckless driving
• Distracted driving
• Poor development of routes or transportation patterns
• Incorrect maintenance of city streets, railway tracks, and other infrastructure

In many cases, public transportation accidents are in fact preventable. If your accident was preventable and was caused by recklessness or negligence, you may have a claim under Florida law to seek compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and other costs related to your injuries.

If you have been injured in a public transit accident, you may think that your injuries will not be very expensive. This may be the case especially if you have a relatively minor injury such as a fracture. However, it is important to keep in mind that even seemingly minor injuries can end up costing large sums of money. You need to prepare yourself so that you don’t suffer financially, so speak to a personal injury attorney to review your options for compensation.
