San Diego Public Transportation Accident Attorney

Injured on a Bus, Train or Subway?

All public transportation vehicles are considered to be common carriers under federal law. A common carrier is defined as any mode of transport that is made available to the general public; buses, trains, metros, subways, taxis, helicopters, airplanes and even elevators fall under the designation of common carriers. Common carriers are held to a higher standard of liability than private vehicles: whereas individuals must take reasonable care to ensure they do not pose a risk to others, common carriers must take the utmost care to ensure that they are capable of keeping their passengers and goods safe. In the event of an accident, the driver, the company that owns the vehicle, the municipality that owns or manages the vehicle or the other driver who caused the collision may be held accountable for damages.

In order to collect compensation for injuries sustained in a public transportation accident, you will need a highly skilled San Diego car accident lawyer to represent your case.
