Philadelphia and Pennsylvania SEPTA Accident Attorneys.

Public Transit Attorneys.

Philadelphia’s transit system, The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA) provides public transportation for millions of people annually. SEPTA operates buses, trains, rail, trolleys, and subways. Normally, when you use public transit , you do so without any risk of injury, but sometimes accidents occur where serious injury results.

Monetary recovery in any SEPTA accident is limited to $250,000.00 per person, and $1,000,000.00 per accident total. That means that no matter how injured you may be, or how many injured persons there may be in an accident, you cannot be compensated outside those limits. Many times there are injured victims that remain uncompensated.

If you have been injured while a passenger on a SEPTA bus, train, rail, or trolley, or have been hit by a SEPTA vehicle, you must act immediately to protect your rights and secure your claim that is being considered for compensation.

Bus Accidents:

An accident involving a bus or SEPTA is often a complicated legal matter because of

Issues about state and federal safety laws;

The driver of the bus and his or her licensing;

The number of responsible parties (driver and bus company)

Weather issues; and

The bus itself; whether it was maintained properly.

Train Accidents:

The railroad companies have an obligation to make sure that their trains and crossings are safe to its passengers and innocent bystanders. The rail companies are also responsible for their pedestrian crossings, platforms, bridges and stations. A railroad accident almost always leads to several fatalities and unfortunately train accidents are responsible for injuring and killing hundreds of victims each year.

Any accident involving railroad companies, whether it’s Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, SEPTA or any other train company, involve specialized expertise in federal and state law. Also FELA or the Federal Employers’ Liability Act may apply to protect an injured worker on a train site.
