Dallas Mass Transit Accident Attorney

There are several ways that a mass transit accident can occur. We want to focus on operator error and mistakes made by mass transit agencies.

• Operator error: All mass transit operators, regardless of what type of vehicle they operate, must be properly trained to do so. This usually requires a driver to have their commercial driver’s license as well as additional training mandated by the agency. There should never be an instance of someone operating while distracted or impaired.
• Transit agency mistake: All transit vehicles, whether they are buses, trains, or light rail, must be properly maintained by the agency. Failing to maintain a mass transit vehicle can be disastrous. Vehicle failure could result in failure of one or more vehicle systems and cause major accidents. Transit agencies must also ensure they properly train every employee.

Injuries from mass transit accidents are often severe. It is not uncommon for our Dallas mass transit accident lawyers to help clients who have sustained the following:

• Traumatic brain injuries/head injuries
