North Atlanta, Marietta and Roswell Bus Crash Lawyer
If you are injured on a bus or train, you should not say anything or sign anything until you talk to an experienced lawyer. You could end up signing away your rights or saying something that will damage your personal injury claim.
My name is Jeffrey S. Williams. I am an attorney who represents people who are injured in common carrier accidents in North Atlanta, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta and surrounding counties in Georgia.
Common Carrier Liability
Common carriers such as Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) and other bus lines have a higher level of responsibility toward the safety of passengers and drivers of private cars. This responsibility applies not only to the operation of the vehicle, but to maintenance and hiring of drivers.
As a passenger on a bus or train, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Accidents involving other vehicles, regardless who was at fault
- Being injured by a bus door closing on you
- Falls caused by a bus starting too quickly
- Injuries caused by driver errors
- Assault injuries from other passengers
If you are injured in a bus or train accident, you have two years to bring a personal injury case against the carrier. It's important to receive proper medical treatment and to wait until you have reached what is known as "maximum medical improvement" before you settle your case. You will only have one change to receive compensation for your losses. If your injuries turn out to be more severe than you first thought, you would not be able to go back later and seek more compensation.
