Fairfield County Lawyers for Bus, Plane, and Train Accidents

Attorneys for Clients Injured While Using Mass Transit in the Metro New York Area

If you have been involved in an accident on a train, bus, or airplane, you know that these accidents can cause devastating injuries and even death. When you use mass transit, you rightfully expect that the individual operating the bus, plane, or train is appropriately trained and is capable of transporting passengers safely. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Bus drivers, train operators, and airplane pilots are held to an extremely high standard of care. When carelessness or incompetence leads to an accident which causes injuries or fatalities, it is possible that the operator, driver, or transportation company itself will be held liable for damages. If you were injured or a loved one was killed in a bus, plane, or train accident, Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC is fully prepared to help you pursue compensation for your damages.

Effective Legal Representation in New York and Connecticut

When it comes to personal injury lawsuits, the question of liability almost always comes down to whether or not the injury was caused by negligence. Negligence occurs when an individual or organization fails to fulfill their duty of care. Bus drivers, train operators, and other mass transit workers have a duty to ensure the safety of passengers as well as other motorists and pedestrians. When they do not uphold this duty, they can be held legally accountable for the damages caused by their actions or inaction.

Bus, train, and plane accidents have the ability to cause extreme property damage and serious physical injury. The most common injuries associated with bus, plane, and train accidents include but are not limited to:

• Traumatic brain injuries;
• Spinal cord injuries;
• Broken bones;
• Internal injuries and organ damage;
• Limb amputation;
• Severe burns; and
• Catastrophic injuries which result in permanent disability or disfigurement.

Mass transit accidents can also result in wrongful death. If you have lost a loved one in an accident involving a mass transit vehicle, call our compassionate personal injury lawyers for help.
