Philadelphia Bus Accident Attorney

Have you been the victim of a bus accident in Philadelphia?

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA, includes bus, rail and mass transportation in 5 counties surrounding Philadelphia. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident that involves SEPTA, you need to know your rights and get your claim filed quickly. Your physical and emotional condition, injuries and other damages must be addressed in a claim or lawsuit seeking recovery of compensation. Moving quickly to file your claim is vital for several reasons. The first of which is because your personal injury claim has a statute of limitations. Second, the injuries you have sustained and your memory of the accident will fade over time, and without this evidence you may be unable to correctly measure the extent of the damages.

If you have been involved in a bus or public transportation accident, you need a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer to assist you in this complex legal situation. At our law firm, we help clients throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding communities with the difficult task of documenting and filing personal injury claims. Claims with public transportation are especially difficult because you must be able to prove fault and negligence in the incident. These types of government-run companies will often have aggressive attorneys working to prevent incidents and lawsuits such as this from happening, so having an experienced and dedicated trial lawyer will be the most important part of your case.
