Public Transportation Lawsuits
In a typical accident, one or maybe a handful of people might be seriously injured. In a public transportation accident, dozens or hundreds of passengers can be injured instead. With so many people being injured in the same incident, the related claims and lawsuits will be handled uniquely. It is not unusual for a mass tort to form after a public transportation accident that involves so many plaintiffs, such as a plane crash or train derailment.
Two of the possible outcomes in your Arizona public transportation accident case:
- Settlement: Public transportation departments and companies don’t want to be caught in view of the public for negative reasons, like causing an accident. If a confidential settlement can be reached with each plaintiff – or the plaintiff class in a class action lawsuit – then much of the case can be kept behind closed doors.
- Lawsuit: A lawsuit, mass tort, or class action lawsuit will become necessary if the defendant doesn’t want to offer a settlement that respects your losses. Miller Kory Rowe has trial attorneys who can see your case through, no matter what. Keep in mind that a settlement can still be reached at any point, even after a trial begins. Also, keep in mind that no law firm can guarantee that a case will end in the plaintiff’s favor.
How Public Transportation Accidents Happen
Public transportation accidents are usually preventable because negligence or “human error” is often the root cause. With an investigation, which might include the assistance of third-party experts like mechanical engineers and accident reconstructionists, our team can look for the cause of the public transportation accident that left you seriously injured or took the life of a loved one.
Common causes of public transportation accidents across Arizona include:
- Operator error
- Operator fatigue or exhaustion
- Failure to follow accepted procedures
- Part or equipment failure
The defendants will be based on liability, which is decided after figuring out the cause of the accident. For example, if a public bus crashed because brake systems were never maintained, then the bus company or the municipal department that runs the buses could be liable for making such an inexcusable oversight.
Steep Damages In Public Transit Crash Cases
Depending on the type of public transportation accident that happened, the risk of catastrophic injury can be severe. In a train derailment, for example, passengers are likely to suffer serious injuries due to the complete lack of seat restraints. Typically, the compensation owed to the plaintiff will increase when considering worse and worse injuries.
The damages owed to public transportation accident claimants can include:
- Medical treatment costs, including future physical therapy and care.
- Lost wages, including reduced future income earning ability.
- Pain, suffering, and complications caused by a new disability.
- Costs and losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one.
Limited Time To Start A Claim
If your public transportation accident involved a government-run vehicle, then the time you have to start an injury claim could be brief. In some situations, you could have as little as 30, 60, or 90 days to file a claim against a defendant that is related to the city, county, state, or federal government. Take legal action today before you miss your chance entirely.

She definitely lives up to her reputation.”

“From our initial consultation to our final settlement. Miller, Kory and Rowe was with us every step of the way. Gabe and team kept us abreast of any updates on the case in a timely fashion and were always, often within minutes of an email, to walk us through what was happening in our case or clarify any questions we may have.
MKR’s compassion and thoughtfulness was genuine and was able to ease our minds in what was a difficult time with the passing of our mom.
