Stockton Lawyers help Public Transportation wounded
California public transportation accidents are on the rise. There have been a rash of public transportation accidents that have resulted in serious injuries and, unfortunately, even death to passengers. If you are a passenger on public transportation which is involved in an accident, the public transportation provider may be held responsible for the injuries passengers receive. Public transportation providers owe a higher duty of care to the people for which they are transporting.
Despite the higher standards, there are still an amazing number of accidents involving public transportation vehicles. Most accidents are the result of driver negligence or poor equipment maintenance. Those who operate public transportation services are held to the highest level of care under California law. When they fail to uphold their legal duties and passengers are injured as a result, the injured persons are entitled to compensation for their injuries.
