Frequently Asked Questions
Injuries from public transportation accidents can change your life in an instant. Our experienced attorneys investigate every detail, hold negligent operators and transit companies accountable, and fight to secure the compensation you need to recover and move forward.
Seek medical attention first, document the accident if possible, gather witness information, and report the incident to the transit authorities. Acting quickly can protect your rights and preserve crucial evidence.
Liable parties may include transit operators, transit or rail companies, other drivers or pedestrians involved, and manufacturers or repair providers responsible for defective equipment.
Deadlines vary by state, but in Texas, personal injury claims generally must be filed within two years of the accident. Acting promptly ensures you don’t miss critical deadlines.
Most experienced public transportation accident attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless they secure a settlement or verdict in your favor.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, long-term care, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages resulting from the accident.
