Bus & Train Accident Lawyer in West Los Angeles
The cities in West Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Culver City are well-known for their constant traffic jams. Getting around can be tough, so many people rely on buses and trains.
Unfortunately, this increase in public transportation puts passengers, pedestrians, and bicyclists at risk of being involved in a bus or train accident. Significant injuries can occur in almost any school bus, city bus or Metro accident. Train accidents are especially harmful since just the sheer size, weight, and speed of a train can cause severe damage to people and property.
Causes of Accidents
Bus and train accidents can occur for a variety of reasons that are not your fault. These reasons include:
- Driver fatigue from working too many hours
- Distracted driving by cell phone or another device
- Bus driver error, such as running red lights, failing to yield right-of-way, etc.
- Aggressive bus driver behavior, such as speeding, rapid lane changing, and failing to signal
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Speeding and not following signals and signage
- Inadequate inspection and maintenance of buses and trains
