Mass Transit Accidents in Los Angeles California
West Covina Bus Accident Lawyer
Mass transit accidents typically consist of an accident involving bus, taxi, train or subway. While these systems are primarily designed to provide safe, convenient and reliable transportation they can also be involved in an accident. Many Californians have come to rely on public transportation in order to get to and from work, school and other necessary destinations. These same people have also come to expect that they will arrive safely at their destination and out of harms way. Unfortunately, many people in the greater Los Angeles area are injured as a result of careless driving or faulty products associated with the mass transit system. West Covina, California Personal Injury Attorney Michael D. Payne maintains that those companies or public authorities should be held responsible while people are in their care. Mr. Payne has offices in West Covina & Beverly Hills to better serve the injured in Southern California.

Common Mass Transit Accident Injuries
Mass transit accidents, like all motor vehicle accidents, have the capacity to cause serious injuries. Some injuries that are very commonly associated with a bus or other type of commercial vehicle accident are head, neck & spinal cord injuries such as whiplash, muscle strains and disc herniations. Injuries to joints, ligament and other connective tissue are also frequently seen in all auto accidents. Joints very often effected in these accidents are the knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows. Fractures, dislocations and sometimes wrongful death can also be a result of a mass transit accident. Factors such as speed at impact, type of accident and angle of collision determine the type, extent & severity of an injury.
