Public transportation is vital to our economy and to people's freedom to go where they want, when they want. Public transportation, however, also results in multiple opportunities for injuries to occur to passengers, pedestrians, motorists and crew members. Seigel Cappozi Law Firm LLC represents residents of and visitors to New Jersey in accidental injury cases involving any of the following:
- City buses
- Commuter buses going into New York City
- Ferries
- Subways
- Amtrak trains
Circumstances of public transportation accidents often mirror one of the following scenarios:
- A bus strikes a car, pedestrian or bicyclist in traffic.
- A bus patron is injured at a bus stop.
- A train passenger is injured in a train station.
- A car is struck at a railroad crossing.
- A subway passenger is injured in a subway station or when boarding or getting off a subway car.
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 or subways, for example), reporting deadlines come quickly and insurance issues may be complex.
You may be dealing with a serious or catastrophic injury after a bus, train or subway accident:
- Head injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Burn injury
- Amputation
