The Bay Area’s many mass transit carriers provide a substantial benefit to the community, dramatically reducing the number of vehicles on the roadways. But they operate on schedules and their drivers can often neglect safety concerns to meet deadlines or arrive on time. Unfortunately, they’re all massive vehicles, so they’ll likely cause serious and catastrophic injury in a crash. If you or someone you love has been hurt in an accident involving a mass transit provider in San Francisco or anywhere in the Bay area, the attorneys at Weber & Nierenberg can help.

Our Bay Area Mass Transit Accident Practice

Under the law, most mass transit carriers are considered common carriers, held to a higher standard of liability because of their role in transporting large groups of people. This requires that they take greater care when hiring, training and supervising employees, and when maintaining their equipment.

At Weber & Nierenberg, we understand the standards to which mass transit entities are held and will make certain they are held accountable when they don’t comply with those requirements. We will extensively investigate any accident claim, traveling to the location of the crash, if necessary. We will also work with specialists, including train or mass transit experts, engineers, medical authorities and financial planners, to ensure that we develop the strongest case for your full financial recovery.

When you have been hurt in an accident involving a municipal transit authority, time is of the essence. You must submit a formal claim for damages within six months of the date of your injury. We will carefully monitor your case and ensure that all filings are timely made, so that your rights are protected.
