Airplane Crashes and Airport Accidents — Bus and Train Accidents
We are prepared to evaluate and pursue your valid personal injury or wrongful death claim arising from virtually any type of public transit or mass transit accident, such as:
- Aviation and airport accidents caused by pilot error, mechanical defects and oversights, a flight crew's failure to maintain a safe environment, accidents that have occurred entering and exiting aircraft or accidents that have occurred in an airport or other factors
- Accidents involving a SEPTA or other city transit bus, school bus, Greyhound or other commercial bus — whether victims were bus passengers involved in a crash or injured by the bus as a pedestrian or bicyclist
- Train accidents, including derailments and car-train collisions at railroad crossings
You can depend on our diligence in unraveling precisely what happened and why. We have solid experience across the spectrum of common carrier cases, invoking the higher standard of care that governs entities who transport others for profit — whether on buses, trains, planes, hay rides or amusement park rides.
