Frequently Asked Questions about Mass Transit Accidents
What Should I Do in the Immediate Aftermath of a Mass Transit Accident?
- Your first course of action should always be to get the medical attention you need to address any serious injuries. Be sure to ask doctors to put everything in writing, and make certain you tell them about anything that feels out of the ordinary.
- Once you’ve received medical treatment, you should immediately contact and retain an experienced attorney in order to maximize your chances of recovering full and fair compensation for your losses. The longer you wait to hire legal counsel, the greater the risk that evidence will get lost or compromised or that witnesses will die, relocate, or forget important details.
- If possible, gather contact information from others involved in the crash, including mass transit employees and other passengers, so that your attorney can contact them and gather evidence. It’s also extremely helpful to take pictures of everything related to the accident, including weather and roadway conditions, damage to the mass transit vehicle, and injuries you or others suffered.
What Compensation Is Available for a Mass-Transit-Accident-Injury Claim?
At Bailey & Galyen, our experienced personal injury attorneys can help you recover for a wide range of losses, including:
- lost wages, income, or salary;
- loss of companionship or consortium;
- loss of enjoyment of life, i.e. loss of the ability to do things that have brought joy, meaning, or value to your life;
- physical pain and suffering caused by the accident; and
- medical expenses incurred because of the accident that are not covered by insurance.
What Are the Most Frequent Causes of a Mass Transit Accident?
Bus, commuter train, taxi, rideshare, and light rail accidents result from a number of factors:
- operator error, carelessness, or recklessness, including speeding, failure to obey traffic signs or signals, and failure to obey traffic laws;
