When riding on a train, bus, plane, taxi, or light rail your safety is regulated by laws governing “common carriers.”

When you use public transportation, available to everyone who wants to ride and can afford the price of a ticket, both state and federal governments may be involved in the regulation of the carrier. If, in the course of your trip, you crossed a state line, claims for compensation for injuries from an accident may involve the laws of several states and the federal government. If the train, bus, or plane was operated by a city or regional transit company owned by a government agency more restrictions on claims, particularly on the statute of limitations, apply.

Our Personal Injury attorneys successfully help clients recover damages for injuries suffered in bus, plane, or train accidents.

If you were injured in a Nevada or California bus accident, railroad crossing accident, or plane crash, whether you suffered an injury such as a whiplash injury or a spinal cord injury that caused permanent disability, we will be happy to evaluate your cases and explain your options.
