Hollywood Public Transportation Accident

Public transportation is considered not only one of the safer options, but also a green option. People take public transportation in order to save money, in order to save the environment, and in order to avoid a car accident and the traffic congestion that is common in Hollywood and other cities. While public transportation is safer, however, negligence on the part of public transportation companies and drivers can still lead to bus accidents in Hollywood as well as other types of public transit accidents across South Florida.

If you have been injured in a public transportation accident, you will want to consult with the attorneys at Flaxman Law Group to discuss your legal options. Public transit companies will often contact you very quickly in order to try to settle your claim quickly and inexpensively. However, without speaking with a personal injury attorney in Hollywood or your community, it can be difficult to tell how much your case is worth and how much your injuries will end up costing. Experienced attorneys at Flaxman Law Group have more than sixty years of experience dealing with traffic accidents across South Florida. They can help you understand whether you have a case and how much your case can be worth, so that you know what you can do in order to protect yourself and your family. Your initial consultation is free and comes with absolutely no obligation, so you risk nothing.

Types Of Transportation Accidents

There are many types of public transportation accidents that occur in Hollywood and across South Florida:

  • Bus accidents
  • Ferry accidents
  • Shuttle accidents
  • School bus accidents
  • Subway or light rail accidents
  • Train accidents

Any time you take public transportation, you expect that your fare provides a safe driver as well as policies that ensure your safety. Unfortunately, in some cases public transportation companies take risks or cut costs in order to become more profitable. In some cases, drivers drive distracted or take other risks that lead to accidents.

Injuries in Public Transit Accidents

Accidents on public transportation can be even more devastating for number of reasons:

  • There are multiple passengers, leading to a collision between passengers during an accident
  • The size and force of public transportation vehicles is considerable and larger than a passenger car
  • There are usually no airbags, seatbelts, and other safety measures that are in a passenger car
  • There are usually loose items on board, such as briefcases and backpacks, which can become airborne in an accident and cause additional injuries

Public transportation accidents often lead to fatal injuries, head injuries, soft tissue injuries, and more. The matter what type of injury you have suffered, you deserve answers and you deserve justice.
