Public Transportation Accidents

The use of public transportation is steadily increasing, so accident-related injuries on buses, trains and airplanes are increasing too. Examples of injuries from a mass transit accident may be caused by a slip and fall accident, robbery, sexual assault, gunshot or electric shock. At the Law Offices of Cohn & Smith, P.A., we are available to inform you of your rights and your legal options. Based in the Pembroke Pines area, our public transportation accident attorneys can help you deal with the insurance companies involved and ensure that you recover full and fair compensation for your injuries.

Determining liability for injuries sustained by a passenger in a mass transit accident requires extensive investigation by our injury attorneys in Pembroke Pines. Potentially liable parties may include:

• The operator
• The mass transit company
• A fellow passenger
• A city, state or federal entity

Your injuries may leave you with enormous medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and more. We use every available resource to obtain the best possible outcome for you.

Public transportation litigation can be complex and confusing. When you are injured, you need to focus on recuperating. Let our caring team handle pursuing the legal remedies for your injuries resulting from:

• Railroad accidents. A train can cause an accident due to defective equipment, human error or track and light signal problems.
• Bus accidents. If you are injured on a bus, we investigate whether the driver was negligent, the equipment was defective or the bus was improperly maintained.
• Airplane accidents. An aircraft that crashes from the sky almost always leads to death or very serious injuries for the people on board. Bad decisions by pilots and crew members can cause accidents, but so can instructions to fly in unsuitable weather, mistakes by controllers on the ground, defective parts and bad maintenance.

To bring a successful claim for a public transportation injury, you should consult with an experienced Pembroke Pines public transportation accident attorney who has the knowledge and resources to fully investigate what caused the crash or collision. Our seasoned and successful lawyers are prepared to guide you through every step of the process in seeking the justice you deserve.
