Public Transportation: Train Accidents and Bus Crashes
If you have been involved in a collision with a Governmental Agency there are important deadlines which must be followed or you will lose your rights to get money to pay your medical bills, lost wages or money to make it right. Any accident involving a public transportation authority such as BART or Sacramento Regional Transit is likely to raise complex issues concerning public liability, shortened claims periods, and government tort claim requirements, over and above the challenges of proving fault and damages as in any other personal injury case. At the
Law Office of David A. Asch

Northern California personal injury attorney
David Asch
represents clients in public transportation accidents involving such vehicles as the following:
- Amtrak or other passenger trains
- Military vehicles
- Governmental vehicles
- Taxis, airport shuttles, or limo services
- Charter buses, school buses, or private buses
- Commuter rail services
- Intercity motor coaches
- Public transit buses in Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland, and Contra Costa County
In some cases involving public transportation, the defendants are held to a higher standard of care in protecting their passengers and other motorists from injuries caused by negligent operation or maintenance of a bus or rail car. At the same time, the soft tissue injuries typical of a school bus accident or low speed limo crash can often be difficult to document and prove.
We work with accident reconstruction, biomechanical engineers as well as orthopedic and surgical specialists so that the full range of your physical losses is identified and documented for money damages. We can relate damage to particular ligaments, tendons, and joints due to particular force loads generated by the impact of collision. In this way, we can prove that a particular injury resulted from the crash with a bus or taxi.
