Metrolink and Bus Crashes
Train and bus crashes can be especially deadly. Unlike passenger cars and trucks, trains and buses usually contain no safety restraints, making it hard for individuals to protect themselves in the event of an accident. Train and mass transit accidents often involve complex legal issues; claims against government entities are always more complicated and follow different rules that ordinary personal injury cases. If you or a loved one has been injured on Metrolink, on a bus, or while riding another mass transit carrier, you should seek immediate representation from an experienced attorney.
Common Carrier Laws
Common carriers such as Metrolink and Union Pacific Railroad have a high level of responsibility to ensure the safety of their passengers. As a passenger who is injured, you are entitled to be compensated for damages such as:
- Past, present and future medical expenses
- Loss of earnings both present and future
- Pain and suffering
- Any degree of impairment or disability caused by the accident
You are also entitled to compensation if a family member of yours was killed in a bus or train accident. We understand that no amount of money can compensate you for the loss of a loved one. However, a wrongful death lawsuit can help your family deal with costs such as medical and funeral expenses, as well as lost financial support if your loved one was a provider.
