South Miami Public Transportation Accident

Whether you have sustained a brain injury in a train collision in South Miami or were assaulted at a bus station, it is important to get legal advice if you have been seriously injured while using mass transit. The reality is that public transportation carriers have an obligation to keep passengers safe. When they are negligent or reckless with your safety, they can be held accountable for the injuries you suffer. If you have been in a public transportation accident in South Miami or Florida, you do have rights.

However, if you have been injured, you will need to file a claim quickly in order to secure the compensation you deserve. There is a statute of limitations in these cases, so you must act fast so that you are not barred by law from seeking a legal claim. If you would like to speak to a personal injury attorney today about your situation, you can contact Flaxman Law Group right now for a free case assessment or even over-the-phone legal assistance.

Who Is Liable For Your Mass Transit Collision In Florida?

In many cases, determining what has caused a collision involving a mass transit vehicle is difficult. A personal injury attorney in such a case will conduct an extensive and thorough investigation in order to find all liable parties. Depending on the specifics of your case, liable parties may include:

  • Other passengers
  • Another at-fault driver
  • The operator of the mass transit vehicle
  • The mass transit authority
  • The company responsible for maintaining the vehicle
  • The municipal, federal, or state authority responsible for the public transportation in the area or the road where the accident occurred

Depending on your case, there may be other liable parties as well. Pursuing all possible liable parties is important as it increases your chances of getting fair and full compensation for your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, property damage, and more.

What Does it Take to Take on Public Transportation Authorities and Other Liable Parties?

If you have been injured while using public transportation, it can be frustrating to get no help from the mass transit authority, especially if it was their negligence that caused your injuries in the first place. However, these carriers are protected by attorneys and powerful insurance companies. They want to resolve claims inexpensively and may even pressure you to accept an offer before you understand what your case may be worth. Do not make this mistake. Fight for the compensation you deserve under Florida law. Contact a personal injury attorney who can launch an investigation, negotiate with insurance companies, and can fight for your best interests.
