Most of us have come to rely on public transportation here in California. It is one of the safest, most convenient, and affordable ways to get from point A to point B in many cases. But each time we rely on a means of public transit, we are putting our trust in multiple parties. Not only are we entrusting the driver, but also the owners, operators, maintenance crew, and infrastructure. Has the driver been properly trained? Has the vehicle been properly maintained? Is the vehicle up to safety standards? Does the owner or operator take shortcuts in maintenance or training?

Public Transit Accidents Can Be Complicated

Each time we take public transit, we are expecting that we will get where we need to go safely. Sharing the road with public transportation, we expect that the drivers are properly trained and the equipment they are driving is safe and maintained. But as personal injury attorneys, we have seen what happens when public and private transit authorities breach that trust. And because there can be multiple reasons for accidents from driver impairment to a lack of infrastructure maintenance, these types of accidents can be complicated.
