Bay Area Bus Accident Attorney

Because they carry many passengers and drive many miles, municipal transit carriers, including busses, are held to a higher standard of safety. The agencies are expected to have careful hiring and training policies and adhere to strict maintenance schedules. When they fail, and when that failure causes fractures, spinal cord injuries, brain injury, amputation or wrongful death, they can and should be held accountable.

Your first step in the process is to file a claim. When the accident involves a municipal transit carrier, you must file a formal claim against it within six months of the date of the accident. A transit accident lawyer at our law firm can guide you through the claim process to ensure that the circumstances of the accident and your injuries are well documented.
If MUNI, BART, AC Transit or SamTrans will not provide an adequate settlement, then our personal injury attorneys will file a lawsuit on your behalf. We will investigate the accident, document your injuries and medical treatment, and provide information about your financial losses.

If your injuries were caused by MUNI (San Francisco municipal Railway, including street cars, motor coaches, LRV and cable cars), BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), AC Transit (Alameda-Contra Costa Transit) or SamTrans (San Mateo County Transit District), talk to a transit accident attorney at Weber & Nierenberg in San Francisco.
