Experienced St. Catharines Lawyers for Train Accidents, Bus Accidents and Other Mass Transit Accidents
Many people use public transportation such as buses or trains to get to and from work each day or to avoid the hassles of traffic. Accidents involving mass transit systems can quickly become complicated when determining liability and the recovery of accident benefits for injured passengers, if available.
The personal injury lawyers of Graves Richard Harris LLP understand the complexities of mass transit accidents, and work with clients to determine all viable options for recovery. We maintain offices in St. Catharines and Kitchener, and represent clients in cities and towns across the Niagara and Kitchener-Waterloo regions of southwestern Ontario.
Obtaining Compensation Following a Mass Transit Accident
Injured individuals must be deemed "seriously injured" to seek benefits outside their own insurance policies following a mass transit accident. A serious injury could include traumatic brain injury, closed head injuries, severe back injury or spinal cord injury, or an injury that results in permanent disability.
We at Graves Richard Harris will thoroughly investigate the evidence of your case and give you our honest assessment of potential claims up front. We routinely work with professional experts such as accident reconstruction specialists, physicians, occupational or vocational experts, and accountants to aid in our investigation. If warranted, we will seek compensation from municipalities or private transport companies for errors such as driver negligence or failure to properly maintain vehicles that may have contributed to your injuries.
We can also provide assistance in seeking fair and adequate compensation for accident benefits under your own insurance policy for medical expenses and any economic losses you may have suffered, such as loss of income during recovery or loss of capacity.
