Accidents in Mass Transit: Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do If I'm Involved in a Mass Transit Accident Right Away?

• Your first plan of action should always be to seek medical help for any significant injuries you may have. Make sure you get everything in writing from your doctors, and that you notify them about anything that feels out of the ordinary.

• You should contact and retain an expert attorney as soon as possible after receiving medical treatment to enhance your chances of collecting full and fair compensation for your losses. The longer you wait to retain legal counsel, the more likely evidence may be lost or tampered with, or witnesses will die, relocate, or forget key details.

• Gather contact information from other people involved in the accident, such as mass transit staff and other passengers, if possible, so that your attorney can contact them and gather evidence. Taking images of anything relevant to the accident, including weather and roadway conditions, damage to the mass transit vehicle, and injuries you or others sustained, is also incredibly important.
