SPECIALITY AREASMUNI/BART/AC Transit/SamTrans LiabilityWere you injured while riding in a light rail train? Did a transit driver assault you? Was your car hit by a bus? Did a trolley hit you while you were walking in a crosswalk? If you were injured because of the actions of a municipal transit agency or employee — BART, Muni, Ac Transit, SamTrans — contact a bus accident lawyer at the Weber & Nierenberg personal injury law firm. A Tradition of Compassionate, Personalized ServiceSan Francisco Bus Accident AttorneyBecause they carry so many passengers and drive so many miles, municipal transit carriers 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.
If your injuries were caused by Muni (the San Francisco Municipal Railway, including street cars, motor coaches, LRV, and cable cars), BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit system), 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. If you or a loved one suffered an injury in an accident — especially a serious injury such as a complex bone fracture, amputation, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord injury — contact us for a free consultation. Recent Examples of How We Have Helped Our Clients $3,750,000 - We represented a healthy 76-year old retired heavy equipment operator whose car was rear-ended by a San Francisco Municipal Railway bus. The bus driver was intoxicated and our investigation revealed, in divorce papers filed in San Mateo County, that the bus driver had an extensive substance abuse problem and prior accident history. The accident severed our client’s spinal cord and left him a T-5 paraplegic. The settlement included enough money to provide him with the needed life care prognosticated by our experts. $2,250,000 We represented the surviving husband and two adult children of a 56-year old health aide to the elderly who was crossing the street within a crosswalk when she was struck and killed by a San Francisco Municipal Railway bus. After 1-1/2 years of litigation, Muni finally admitted liability and settled the lawsuit. $855,000 We represented a 29-year old housepainter who was a Muni bus passenger when he was lifted up from his seat by the bus driver and tossed out the front doors onto the street. The driver claimed that when our client placed his fare in the box he hit the driver’s hand. Our investigation discovered that the bus driver was a convicted violent felon with a history of allegedly attacking other Muni patrons. Our client sustained a fractured wrist and thumb and significant psychological injury.
