Public Transportation Accidents:
As the use of public transportation increases, so do the accidents and injuries associated with it. Hundreds or people are seriously injured every year on public transportation, also known as “common carriers”. Common carriers are companies or systems that carry passengers as part of a business operation open to the public.
Often times, important deadlines must be met in public transportation accident claims. For example, if you were injured on a New Jersey Transit bus, you must notify the New Jersey Transit within 90 days of the accident that you intend to file a personal injury lawsuit. As illustrated above, when dealing with claims against public transportation providers if you wait too long, you may lose your right to recover financial compensation. Whatever the circumstances of your public transportation accident, you are urged to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible. This is true for any traffic accident, but when a government entity is involved (the city or state that operates the buses, subways or trains), reporting deadlines come quickly and insurance issues may be complex.
